Module 7 at a Glance
Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon-based compounds: how they are named, how their
structures explain their properties, and how they react to form useful products. It divides into four
inquiry
questions:
- How do we systematically name organic compounds? — homologous series, functional
groups,
IUPAC nomenclature and structural and geometric isomers.
- How is organic chemistry used to make useful new substances? — properties such as
melting and boiling points, solubility and reactions producing new compounds.
- What are the products of reactions of hydrocarbons and oxygen? — combustion, and the
oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids.
- How can polymers be produced? — addition and condensation polymerisation, and the role
of organic chemistry in producing useful materials.
Exam tip: Module 7 rewards precise language — always name the functional group, and when
asked to "explain" a property, connect structure (chain length, branching, hydrogen bonding) to the observed
behaviour, then to the trend. Marks are won on the link, not the list.
