Chapter 4 Flashcards
Hydrocarbon
Molecule containing only of carbon and hydrogen
Organic Chemistry
Study of carbon based molecules
Isomer
Same number of atoms of the same elements but arranged into a different structure, giving them a different shape and different properties
Hydroxyl
HYDROGEN bonded to an OXYGEN
(–OH)
Carbonyl
CARBON joined to an OXYGEN with a DOUBLE bond
(>CO)
Carboxyl
OXYGEN is DOUBLE bonded to a CARBON which is also bonded to an -OH
(–COOH)
Amino
NITROGEN bonded to TWO HYDROGEN and carbon skeleton
(–NH2)
Sulfhydryl
SULFUR bonded to HYDROGEN
(–SH)
Phosphate
PHOSPHATE bonded to FOUR OXYGEN
(–OPO3^2-)
Methyl
CARBON bonded to THREE HYDROGEN
(–CH3)
96% of living matter is made up of what 4 atoms?
nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon
Different ways of alternating a molecule? (5)
length branching double bond position presence of rings (corners are carbons, line = bond, shorthand) adding functional groups
