Chapter 12 Flashcards
Carbon
Forms 4 bonds; tetrahedral (109)
Organic chemistry is…
Chemistry of carbon and Carbon containing compounds
Organic molecules have…
> covalent bonds (multiple)
polarity
contain H,O,N
Functional groups
> Contain atoms like O,N or double or triple bonds
>determine the physical properties(water solubility) and chemical reactions
Hydrocarbons
>Carbon and Hydrogen > 4 classes: -alkanes -alkenes -alkynes -aromatics
Expanded structure
Show all covalent bonds between atoms
Condensed structure
Do not show bonds between carbons and hydrogen all other bonds are shown
Skeletal structure
Hydrogen atoms are bonded to carbon are not shown other hydrogen are shown
Line-angle structure
Only carbon to carbon bonds are shown no hydrogen to carbon bonds are shown
Straight-chain alkane
Alkane with all it’s carbons connected in a row
Branched-chain alkane
An alkane that has a branching connection of carbons
Constitutional isomers
Compounds with the same molecular formula but different connections
C-C
Infinite number of possible 3 dimensional conformations
Meth
1C
Eth
