Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen
What is the arrangement when all bonds are single?
Tetrahedral
When one or more of the bonds is double what is its arrangement?
Trogon all planar
When one or more bonds is a triple bond, what is the arrangement?
Linear
What is the functional group?
The center of reactivity
What are hydrocarbons?
Compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen
What are Alkane hydrocarbons?
Only contain single bonds
What are alkene hydrocarbons?
Ones with at least one double bond
What are alkyne hydrocarbons?
Ones with at least one triple bond
What are aromatic hydrocarbons?
Ones in a planar ring structure and are joined by pi or omega bonds
Melting and boiling points are determined by London Dispersion forces?
True
What is the structure of alkanes?
Tetrahedral rotating around a carbon atom
What is the naming system?
Prefix(what substituents) + base(# of carbons) + suffix(family)
System of naming
- Longest continuous chain
- Number carbon from closest to continuous
- Name and give location of substituents
- Name in alpha order
What are cycoalkanes?
Ones that form rings or circles
