Chapter 25 - Hydrocarbon Compounds Flashcards
a compound that only has hydrogen and carbon atoms
hydrocarbon
only single carbon/covalent bonds
alkane
one or more double bonds
alkene
one or more triple bonds
alkyne
circular
cyclic
unsaturated and cyclical
arene
has every possible hydrogen (maximum number)
saturated
has less than maximum hydrogen (some hydrogen has been replaced with a substituent)
unsaturated
an arene (like benzene) that smells good
aromatic
anything with the same formula but different
isomer
same molecular formula but different molecular STRUCTURE
structural isomer
same molecular structure, different arrangement
stereo isomer
different geometry
geometric isomer
same side as the double bond
cis
opposite side of the double bond
trans
a carbon atom to which 4 different groups are attached
asymmetric carbon
constant increment
homologous
shows all bonds
complete formula
some (elements, hydrogens, ect.) are left out
condensed formula
hydrocarbon substituent
alkyl
anything that replaces hydrogen
substituent
