ABSTRACT
In order to differentiate the organic compounds. The group tested the compounds using the information based on their instinsic physical properties, behavior in ignition,acidity and basicity and their infrared spectra. The physical properties were noted by the reaserchers by the means of their physical state,color and odor.Using the following reagents: H2o, 5% NaOH solution and 5% HCl solution. Solubility and miscibility were tested. Acidity and Basicity of the compounds were determined by the use of litmus paper. Ignition test was conducted using 3 to 5 drops of the sample in a small evaporating dish and light with a match. Lastly, the infrared spectrum was use to classify organic compounds according to their functional groups.
INTRODUCTION
Organic compounds are the complex compounds of carbon. Because carbon atoms bond to one another easily, the basis of most organic compounds is comprised of carbon chains that vary in length and shape. Carbon atoms have four valence electrons that make them bond with each other easily. Thus organic compounds are classified according to their carbon chains that vary in length and shape. Hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen are the most common atoms that are generally attached to the carbon atoms.
Organic compounds can be classified as hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon derivatives on the basis of their hydrogen replacements by other elements or by other group of elements (functional group).All hydrocarbons are insoluble in water because of their relatively non-polarity and easily distribute. When hydrocarbons burn using oxygen, C02 and H20 are the sole products. There are 2 large classes of Hydrocarbon namely: unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbons.Unsaturated hydrocarbons contains one or more carbon-carbon
