Carbon Compounds and Functional Groups Flashcards
What makes carbon so important?
-Four valence electrons, tetravalent, forms strong stable covalent bonds, readily forms multiple bonds and long chains
What is the Octet Rule?
-The number of covalent bonds an element forms is determined by the number of electrons in its outer shell
What is the functional group interconversion?
-The process that allow a synthetic chemist to transform a functional group into another to change molecular properties
