INTRODUCTION
Organic chemistry is all around us. The reactions and interactions of organic molecules
allow us to see, smell, fight, and fear. Organic chemistry provides the molecules that feed us, treat our
illnesses, protect our crops, and clean our clothes. Anyone with a curiosity about life and living things must
have a basic understanding of organic chemistry.
But why is carbon special? Why, of the more than 37 million presently known chemical
compounds, do more than 99% of them contain carbon? The answers to these questions come from carbon’s
electronic structure and its consequent position in the periodic table. As a group 4A element, carbon can share
four valence electrons and form four strong covalent bonds. Furthermore, carbon atoms can bond to one
another, forming long chains and rings. Carbon, alone of all elements, is able to form an immense diversity of
compounds, from the simple methane, with one carbon atom, to the staggeringly complex DNA, which can
have more than 100 million carbons. Not all carbon compounds are derived from living organisms of course.
Modern chemists have developed a remarkably sophisticated ability to design and synthesize new organic
compounds in the laboratory—medicines, dyes, polymers, and a host of other substances. Organic chemistry
touches the lives of everyone; its study can be a fascinating undertaking.
ENGAGING
Let’s begin. I have a question to you. What is your morning routine before

Go back to the questions asked at the start of this section. Recall your
answers. The toothpaste you use to brush your teeth, the soap and shampoo
you use to wash your body and hair, the food you eat and the process of
digestion that takes place in your body, the public or private transportation you
take going in school, the air around, and the pollutants from the factories and
motor vehicles are all related to chemistry. The questions asked as well as your
activity in the classroom aim to make you realize that in everything you do
chemistry is at work.
LT # 1 LESSON PROPER
Organic chemistry is the area of chemistry that involves the study of carbon and its compounds.
Carbon is now known to form a seemingly unlimited number of compounds. The uses of organic compounds
impact our lives daily in medicine, agriculture, and general life.
In theory (Oparin, 1923) organic chemistry may have its beginnings with the big bang
when the components of ammonia, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and methane combined to form amino acids, an
experiment that has been verified in the laboratory (Miller, 1950). Organic chemicals were used in ancient
times by Romans and Egyptians as dyes, medicines and poisons from natural sources, but the chemical
composition of the substances was unknown.
In the 16th century organic compounds were isolated from nature in the pure state
(Scheele, 1769) and analytical methods were developed for determination of elemental composition
(Lavoisier, 1784).
Scientists believed (Berzelius, 1807) that organic chemicals found in nature contained a
special "vital force" that directed their natural synthesis, and therefore, it would be impossible to accomplish a
laboratory synthesis of the chemicals. Fortunately, later in the century Frederich Wöhler (1828) discovered
that urea, a natural component in urine, could be synthesized in the laboratory by heating ammonium cyanate.
His discovery meant that the natural "vital force" was not required to synthesis organic compounds, and paved
the way for many chemists to synthesize organic compounds.
By the middle of the nineteenth century many advances had been made into the
discovery, analysis and synthesis of many new organic compounds. Understanding about the structures of
organic chemistry began with a theory of bonding called valence theory (Kekule, Couper, 1858).
Organic chemistry developed into a productive and exciting science in the nineteenth century.
Many new synthetic methods, reaction mechanisms, analytical techniques and structural theories have been
developed. Toward the end of the century much of the knowledge of organic chemistry has been expanded to
study of biological systems such as proteins and DNA. Volumes of information are published monthly in
journals, books and electronic media about organic and biological chemistry.
The vast information available today means that for new students of organic chemistry a
great deal of study is required. Students must learn about organic reactions, mechanism, synthesis, analysis,
and biological function. The study of organic chemistry, although complex, is very interesting, and begins here
with an introduction of the theory of chemical bonding.

DIRECTIONS: Read the article below and answer the questions that follow.
In October 30, 2014, a research from the university of Southampton has indicated that copper could
help in preventing the spread of Ebola.
Hand washing, disinfectants, and quarantine procedures alone have been found to be insufficient to
contain the spread of the virus. Research by professor Bill Keevil at the University of Southampton has offered
promising evidence that antimicrobial copper – engineering materials with intrinsic hygiene benefits – could
be a valuable addition to these existing measures.
The US centres for diseases Control and prevention (CDC) note the Ebola virus transmitted through
direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, or through exposure to contaminated objects.
Viruses similar to Ebola are susceptible to a broad range of surface disinfectants; however, testing against
Ebola itself cannot currently be conducted due to limited access to laboratories with the required safety
clearances the CDC has therefore instructed hospitals to use disinfectants with proven efficacy again resistant
virus such as norovirus, adenovirus and poliovirus.
Peer-reviewed and published data from laboratory studies conducted by professor Bill Keevil chair of
environmental healthcare at the /university of Southampton, demonstrate copper ability to rapidly and
completely inactive norovirus. Recent work in Germany has also explored its effectiveness against other viral
bio threat agents. Clinical trials conducted in the UK, US and Chile have shown surfaces made from solid
copper or copper alloys- collectively termed anti-microbial copper—continuously reduce surface
contamination by greater than 8- percent. These results indicate a potential role for antimicrobial copper touch
surfaces in preventing the spread of Ebola.
Based on our research on viruses of similar genetic structure, we expect copper surfaces to inactive
Ebola, and to help control the spread of this virus if employed for publicly- used touch surfaces’ explains
professor Keevil.
Antimicrobial cooper surface have been described as a no touch solution meaning that no special
measures or human intervention are required for it to continuously kill pathogens, in between regular cleans.
Replacing frequently-touched surfaces, such as door handles, taps and light switches, with solid copper or
copper alloys equivalents will provide a more hygienic environment, with fewer bacteria and viruses available
to spread infection. With this is mind, the use of antimicrobial copper surfaces could offer an additional
method of controlling the current spread of Ebola.

LT # 2 LESSON PROPER
Organic chemistry is the study of compounds that contain carbon. It is one of the major branches of chemistry.
The history of organic chemistry can be traced back to ancient times when medicine men extracted
chemicals from plants and animals to treat members of their tribes. They didn't label their work as "organic
chemistry", they simply kept records of the useful properties and uses of things like willow bark which was
used as a pain killer. (It is now known that willow bark contains acetylsalicylic acid, the ingredient in aspirin -
chewing on the bark extracted the aspirin.) Their knowledge formed the basis of modern pharmacology which
has a strong dependence on knowledge of organic chemistry.
Organic chemistry was first defined as a branch of modern science in the early 1800's by Jon
Jacob Berzelius. He classified chemical compounds into two main groups: organic if they originated in living
or once-living matter and inorganic if they came from "mineral" or non-living matter. Like most chemists of
his era, Berzelius believed in Vitalism - the idea that organic compounds could only originate from living
organisms through the action of some vital force. It was a student of Berzelius' who made the discovery that
would result in the abandonment of Vitalism as a scientific theory. In 1828, Frederich Wöhler discovered that
urea - an organic compound - could be made by heating ammonium cyanate (an inorganic compound). Wöhler
mixed silver cyanate and ammonium chloride tp produce solid silver chloride and aqueous ammonium
cyanate:
He then separated the mixture by filtration and tried to purify the aqueous ammonium cyanate by evaporating
the water.
To his surprise, the solid left over after the evaporation of the water was not ammonium cyanate, it
was a substance with the properties of urea! Wöhler's observation marked the first time an organic compound
had been synthesized from an inorganic source.
A Turning Point in Science History Wöhler's discovery was a turning point in science history
for two reasons. First, it undermined the idea of Vitalism because an organic compound was produced from an
inorganic one. However, it also represented the discovery of isomerism - the possibility of two or more
different structures (ammonium cyanate crystals and urea crystals) based on the same chemical formula
(N2H4CO). Chemists started searching for reasons to explain isomerism. That in turn led to theories about the
structure of chemical compounds.
By the 1860's, chemists like Kékulé were proposing theories on the relationship between a
compound's chemical formula and the physical distribution of its atoms. By the 1900's chemists were trying to
determine the nature of chemical bonding by developing models for electron distribution. During all of this
time the number of known organic compounds was increasing rapidly year by year. During the 20th century,
organic chemistry branched into sub-disciplines such as polymer chemistry, pharmacology, bioengineering,
petro-chemistry, and numerous others.
During that century, millions of new substances were discovered or synthesized. Today over
98% of all known compounds are organic. Your study of organic chemistry begins at a time when the number
of organic compounds and the number of reactions they undergo is nothing short of bewildering! Your study
of organic chemistry begins with a study of the classification system, naming rules, and some key reactions
that organic compounds undergo.
I. Make a timeline on what you have learned from the history of Organic chemistry and name the different
scientists and their contribution to organic chemistry.
REMEMBER THESE:
Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure and properties of matter, the processes
that matter undergoes, and the energy changes that company these processes.
Frederich Wöhler discovered that urea - an organic compound - could be made by heating
ammonium cyanate (an inorganic compound).

Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Chemistry is often
called the central science, because a basic knowledge of chemistry is essential for students of
biology, physics, geology, ecology, and many other subjects. Indeed, it is central to our way of
life; without it, we would be living shorter lives in what we would consider primitive conditions,
without automobiles, electricity, computers, CDs, and many other everyday conveniences.
Although chemistry is an ancient science, its modern foundation was laid in the
nineteenth century, when intellectual and technological advances enabled scientists to break
down substances into ever smaller components and consequently to explain many of their
physical and chemical characteristics. The rapid development of increasingly sophisticated
technology throughout the twentieth century has given us even greater means to study things that cannot be
seen with the naked eye.
Using computers and special microscopes, for example, chemists can analyze the
structure of atoms and molecules—the fundamental units on which the study of chemistry is based—and
design new substances with specific properties, such as drugs and environmentally friendly consumer
products. As we enter the twenty-first century, it is fitting to ask what part the central science will have in this
century. Almost certainly, chemistry will continue to play a pivotal role in all areas of science and technology.
Before plunging into the study of matter and its transformation, let us consider some of the frontiers that
chemists are currently exploring). Whatever your reasons for taking general chemistry, a good knowledge of
the subject will better enable you to appreciate its impact on society and on you as an individual.
Three major advances in the past century have enabled us to prevent and treat diseases. They are
public health measures establishing sanitation systems to
protect vast numbers of people from infectious disease;
surgery with anaesthesia, enabling physicians to cure
potentially fatal conditions, such as an inflamed appendix;
and the introduction of vaccines and antibiotics that make it
possible to prevent diseases spread by microbes.
Gene therapy promises to be the fourth
revolution in medicine. (A gene is the basic unit of inheritance.) Several thousand known conditions, including
cystic fibrosis and hemophilia, are carried by inborn damage to a single gene. Many other ailments, such as
cancer, heart disease, AIDS, and arthritis, result to an extent from impairment of one or more genes involved
in the body’s defences. In gene therapy, a selected healthy gene is delivered to a patient’s cell to cure or ease
such disorders.
To carry out such a procedure, a doctor must have a sound knowledge of the chemical properties
of the molecular components involved. The decoding of the human genome, which comprises all of the genetic
material in the human body and plays an essential part in gene therapy, relies largely on chemical techniques.
Chemists in the pharmaceutical industry are researching potent drugs with few or no side effects
to treat cancer, AIDS, and many other diseases as well as drugs to increase the number of successful organ
transplants. On a broader scale, improved understanding of the mechanism of aging will lead to a longer and
healthier life span for the world’s population.
To meet the food demands of the twenty-first century, new and novel approaches in farming must be
devised. It has already been demonstrated that, through biotechnology, it is possible to grow larger and better
crops. These techniques can be applied to many different farm products, not only for improved yields, but also
for better frequency, that is, more crops every year. For example, it is known that a certain bacterium produces
a protein molecule that is toxic to leaf-eating caterpillars. Incorporating the gene that codes for the toxin into
crops enables plants to protect themselves so that pesticides are not necessary.
Researchers have also found a way to prevent pesky insects from reproducing. Insects communicate
with one another by emitting and reacting to special molecules called pheromones. By identifying and
synthesizing pheromones used in mating, it is possible to interfere with the normal reproductive cycle of
common pests; for example, by inducing insects to mate too soon or tricking female insects into mating with
sterile males. Moreover, chemists can devise ways to increase the production of fertilizers that are less harmful
to the environment and substances that would selectively kill weeds.

G. Closure/Reflection:
Verse it out. Be with your group mates and choose one verse that best suits your principles about the history
of organic chemistry. You can present your reflection through our virtual classroom. You’ll be given five
minutes to explain your answer.
1. The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God
will bless you in the land. – Deuteronomy 28:8
2. But I will bless the person who puts his trust in me. He is like a tree growing near a stream and sending out
roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries
when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit. – Jeremiah 17:7-8
3. The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to
bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. –Deuteronomy
28:12
4. May God give you of heaven’s dew and of earth’s richness – an abundance of grain and new wine. –
Genesis 27:28
H. Synthesis/Summary:
The science of Organic Chemistry has a broad and diverse past with many investigators from many
countries making discoveries that when combined over 200 years led to the field of Organic Chemistry. The
intrigue found with substances that contain carbon, organic compounds, arose because so many different
substances could be found in nature and many of them had medicinal uses. The discovery of a laboratory
synthesis of urea by Frederich Wöhler (1828) showed that organic chemicals did not have to be prepared by
the vital forces of nature but could also be prepared by humans, thus opening the way for the field of synthetic
organic chemistry.
