3.1 Intro To Organic Flashcards
Empirical formula
Simplist whole number ratio of atoms of elements in the compound
Molecular formula
True number of atoms of elements in a compound
General formula
Shows members of homologous series
CnHn+2
Structural formula
Structural arrangement of JUST atoms
Displayed formula
Shows every atom and bond in molecule
Skeletal formula
Shows bond and non carbon molecules
Homologous series
Same general formula, same functional group
Differ by CH2 and bp
Isomerism
Same molecular different structural formula
Chain isomer
Different length of main chain
Positional isomer
Functional group on difference carbon atom
Functional isomer
Different functional group
Stereoisomer
Same structural, different spatial arrangement
because of limited rotation from C=C bond
E-ISOMER heavy molecule both same side
Z-ISOMER heavy molecule on opposite sides
