Welcome to Applied Chemistry

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Iloilo and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through the
Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to guide
the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Applied Chemistry Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no
face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners
with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Applied Chemistry Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even if
you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging
activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand
the instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be
returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Organic Compounds

I. Learning Competency

Cite uses of representative examples of compounds bearing the

different functional group.

II. Background Information for Learners

Do you know that there are about 10 million organic compounds including those
compounds from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists?
What is an organic compound? What is the simplest form of organic compound?
Based on its name, what elements are present in hydrocarbons?

Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbon is an organic chemical compound composed of hydrogen (H)

and carbon (C) atoms only. The framework of the compound is formed when
carbon atoms are joined together and hydrogen atoms are attached to the carbon
atoms in different configurations. Hydrocarbons are classified as either aliphatic
(hydrocarbon having a straight chain structures with no rings in them) or aromatic
(hydrocarbons having a ring structure in them).

https://www.google.com/search?q=structure+of+representative+hydrocarbon

Aliphatic hydrocarbons are classified according to the types of bonds they contain:
alkanes, have only single bonds (C-C); alkenes, contain a carbon-carbon double bond
(C=C); alkynes, containna a carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C). Aromatic hydrocarbons
contain a benzene ring as a structural unit.

Functional Groups
Most organic chemistry involves substituents, which are groups attached to
hydrocarbon chains. The substituents of organic molecules often contain oxygen,
nitrogen and halogens. They are called functional groups because they are the chemically
functional parts of the molecule. The functional group present in alkene is the double
bond and triple bond in alkynes. Do you know that the alcohol (ethyl alcohol or isopropyl
alcohol) we are using to sanitize our hand is an example of hydrocarbon containing
oxygen substituents?
