The next functional group under study is the "carbonyl" group, or double-bonded oxygen.  If it is on the end of the carbon chain it is an aldehyde, and if in the middle it is a ketone.  Read p.49-56.  Note that ketones are now named with the location number just before the -one ending, such as with pentan-2-one instead of 2-pentanone.
Homework:  Answer p.51-52 #1-5; p.56 #6-7; p.57 #1-4.

Yesterday, we discussed two of the reactions of alcohols:  halogenation and oxidation.  We performed these reactions in the experiment on p.84-85 of the text.  Write a lab report with your name, partner's name, date of experiment, title, purpose, observations, discussion, conclusion.  The discussion includes answers to:  a)  Write the IUPAC names for the alcohols.
b)  You were told to look for cloudiness as proof that a haloalkane was formed.  What property of haloalkanes does this demonstrate?
and the questions on p.85 c, e-g
It is due on Monday, Oct. 18.
If you were not present, please arrange to complete the experiment at lunch next Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

We discussed the naming and properties of alcohols and ethers.  Read p.38, 40, 42-46.  The alcohol names should have the location number just before the "-ol" suffix at the end, not at the beginning.  CH3-CH2-CH2-OH is propan-1-ol, not 1-propanol.
Homework:  Answer p.41 #1, 2abd, 3; p.42 #4, 5; p.44 #7a, 8b; p.46 #11.

Halogens are a functional group that change the properties of hydrocarbons.  Read p.32-36 in text.
Homework:  p.33 #1, 2; p.37 Practice #6; handout with functional groups on it - answer questions at bottom.

The three major types of organic reactions are addition, substitution, and elimination.  You are to be able to identify a reaction as one of these types, and to predict products of these reactions.  There are examples in your text, p.24-26.
Stereoisomers differ from skeletal isomers.  They form because carbons cannot rotate around the double bond in an alkene.  To have cis and trans stereoisomers, each carbon in a double bond must have two different groups attached to it.
Homework:  p.27 #1abd, 3;  p.31 #2, 3bce;  small handout with stereoisomer questions

Most students were away on retreat or camping.  Complete the handout questions from Monday, Oct. 4; the last question on the first side, for which you now have the boiling points, and #8 on the first side.

We went through how to name and write formulas of alkenes, alkynes, and cyclic hydrocarbons.  The text does not provide correct IUPAC names for these, so make sure you get notes from class.
Homework:  p.18-19 #3-6

We discussed boiling point trends of simple alkanes and learned how to name branched alkanes and write their structures.  Refer to the text p.12-15, 22 for help.
Homework:  Both sides of handout except #8 on the first side.

We defined "organic compound", and "skeletal isotope", learned the methods by which hydrocarbons can be represented with models or diagrams, learned how to name simple alkanes, and built models of skeletal isotopes.
Homework:  questions on the back of the handout
