Representing Organic Compounds - 8.1

Fuels, Hydrocarbons and Organic Reactions - Edexcel Combined Science (1SC0)

In this course, Dr Noha Ziedan (University of Chester) covers various topics in organic chemistry for Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Combined Science (1SC0) for Higher/Foundation Tier. It begins with: (i) an introduction to organic compounds, particularly hydrocarbons, explaining their applications and categorization into aliphatic and aromatic classes (Topic 8.1); and (ii) their properties and uses (Topic 8.2-8.17).

Representing Organic Compounds - 8.1

In the first mini-lecture, we introduce the basics of organic chemistry (Topic 8.1). The lecture covers various representations of organic compounds, such as empirical, molecular, general, structural, and displayed formulas. These concepts provide a foundational understanding of organic chemistry.
