BC and hydrocarbons : skeletal formula Flashcards
how is drawing a displayed formulae useful ?
when considering shape and size of a molecule
what is problem with displayed formulaes ?
this is time consuming and it is easy to draw complex molecules incorrectly
what does structural type representation be useful for ?
the psychical properties of a compound often relate to chain length and branching
what does skeletal formulae focus on ?
the attention on these reactive parts of molecules
when are skeletal formulae often used in ?
constructing mechanisms
–> which are like flow charts that model electron movement in chemical reactions
define skeletal formulae
a simplified structural formula drawn by removing hydrogen atoms from alkyl chains
what are lines and corner used to indicate ?
alkyl chains and every corner represents a carbon atom
what does unsaturated organic chemicals contains ?
at least one carbon-carbon double covalent bond
what are hydrocarbons ?
compounds that contain only hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms
what does saturated organic compounds only contains ?
single covalent bonds

what is commonly shown in a skeletal form ?
cyclic compounds
what do aromatic hydrocarbons always have ?
a 6-carbon ring with molecular formula C6H6
what is the aromatic hydrocarbon ? (structure)
very stable because the electrons are shared across all the carbon atoms
what is the molecule rarely involved in ?
chemical reactions
