3.3.5 Alcohols Knowledge Flashcards
what is an alcohol?
molecule with a hydroxyl functional group attached to a hydrocarbon chain
what is the general formula of alcohols?
CnH2n+1OH
what is the functional group isomer of butan-1-ol?
ethoxyethane - H3CCHOCHCH3
what is the carbonyl group?
C=O
what is the carbonyl group bonded to in aldehydes?
Carbonyl bonded to at least one H atom
what is the structural formula for the carbonyl group in an aldehyde?
CHO
what is the suffix for an aldehyde?
-al
what number is the carbonyl group in an aldehyde?
The carbonyl group in an aldehyde is always C number 1
what is the carbonyl group bonded to in ketones?
Carbonyl bonded to two C atoms
what is the structural formula for the carbonyl group in a ketone?
CO
what is the suffix for a ketone?
-one
what number is the carbonyl group in a ketone?
Because the C= can be at different positions in a chain, they often require a number that is not 1
