Amino acid

Molecule A. This is glycine - the simplest of the amino acids. The systematic name is 2- aminoethanoic acid

Amine

Molecule B. This is a simple aliphatic amine with two carbon atoms called ethylamine ( or ethanamine) . Ethylamine can be formed by the reaction of chloroethane with ammonia dissolved in ethanol.

Amide

Molecule C . This is an amide called ethanamide. Amides can be formed by the violent reaction of acyl chlorides with concentrated ammonia solution

Amides can be named from the acyl chloride from which they are derived. For example : ethanoyl chloride becomes ethanamide.

Synthetic polymers

Thermoplastic Polymers ( plastics) are used to make a huge range of everyday objects Many organic molecules can be made to join up with one another to form very long molecules which can be thousands of atoms long. This makes new materials with water resistant properties. Many of these materials will soften when heated and can therefore be easily moulded into complex shape.These materials are known are...
