Chapter 3 Book Flashcards
Heteroatoms
atoms that are not C or H
Functional groups
determine molecules geometry, physical properties, and reactivity
Carbon Backbone
C-C and C-H sigma bonds make up skeleton
When are molecules reactive
when they have a functional group
Hydrocarbons
made of C and H
alkanes
only C-C sigma bonds
R-H
Alkenes
only C=C
Alkynes
C triple bond C
Why are aromatic hydrocarbons called this
early known aromatic compounds had strong odor
