Organic Chemistry Grade 12 Notes PDF Download

Organic Chemistry Grade 12 Notes PDF Download You can get the Organic Chemistry Grade 12 Notes on this page in pdf format. Questions in organic chemistry make up around a third of Paper 2 of the Physical Sciences Grade 12 Examination.

The two most crucial elements of organic chemistry for grade 12 are:

comprehending the reaction of organic molecules; naming the organic molecules and becoming familiar with the rules for naming molecules. Pay attention to the reaction names because they offer some context for the reactions, such as: When a molecule is hydrated, a water (hydro) molecule is added to it; when it is dehydrated, the water molecule is taken away.

Atomic Theory: its Place in Organic Chemistry Grade 12

Organic compounds comprise the largest group of compounds on earth. Many things around you have carbon as the most abundant atom in them, including food, clothes, paper, coal, fuel, diamonds … the list is endless.

The carbon atom has wonderful properties that make it bond easily with other carbon atoms and with other atoms to form short chains and long chains. From methane, a dominant constituent of marsh gas to polymers …

A long time ago, clothes were made from cotton only, which is made up of carbon atoms. The second industrial revolution brought about the process of synthesis, when people realised
that they can make new products from existing materials and turn the material into something completely new through a range of reactions that usually mimic something that already exists naturally. Polymers are such an example. To a large extent, they have replaced cotton through reactions that produce synthetic materials such as polyester, polyamides, etc. These play an important role in the clothing industry, and in many other industrial and home products.

In South Africa, SASOL produced petrol out of coal. That is the beauty of synthesis: petrol from coal and not from oil!
