Curriculum Expectations
B1. assess the social and environmental impact of organic compounds used in everyday life, and propose a course of action to reduce the use of compounds that are harmful to human health and the environment;
B1.1 assess the impact on human health, society, and the environment of organic compounds used in everyday life (e.g., polymers, nutritional supplements, food additives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides)
B1.2 propose a personal course of action to reduce the use of compounds that are harmful to human health and the environment (e.g., weed lawns by hand rather than using herbicides, use cloth bags for shopping to reduce the number of plastic bags in landfill sites, choose fuel-efficient or hybrid vehicles to reduce fossil fuel emissions)
B2. Investigate organic compounds and organic chemical reactions, and use various methods to represent the compounds;
B2.1 use appropriate terminology related to organic chemistry, including, but not limited to: organic compound, functional group, saturated hydrocarbon, unsaturated hydrocarbon, structural isomer, stereoisomer, and polymer
B2.2 use International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature conventions to identify names, write chemical formulae, and create structural formulae for the different classes of organic compounds, including hydro- carbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, amines, amides, and simple aromatic compounds
B2.3 build molecular models for a variety of simple organic compounds
B2.4 analyse, on the basis of inquiry, various organic chemical reactions (e.g., production of esters, polymerization, oxidation of alcohols, multiple bonds in an organic compound, combustion reactions, addition reactions)
B3. demonstrate an understanding of the structure, properties, and chemical behaviour of compounds within each class of organic compounds.
B3.1 compare the different classes of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, amines, and amides, by describing the similarities and differences in names and structural formulae of the compounds within each class
B3.2 describe the similarities and differences in physical properties (e.g., solubility in different solvents, odour, melting point, boiling point) within each class of organic compounds
B3.3 explain the chemical changes that occur during various types of organic chemical reactions, including substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation, esterification, and hydrolysis
B3.4 explain the difference between an addition reaction and a condensation polymerization reaction
B3.5 explain the concept of isomerism in organic compounds, and how variations in the properties of isomers relate to their structural and molecular formulae
