Chapter 4-Personal Outline Flashcards
_____________: the backbone of life. The most diverse element. The organic element
Carbon:
_______________: the study of carbon containing compounds
Organic Chemistry:
Carbon atoms can form diverse molecules because they can bond with _______________________________
4 other atoms. Carbon has a total of 6 electrons, 2 in the inner shell and 4 in the outer
Carbon bonds in a __________________
Tetrahedron shape
_______________: organic compounds consisting of only carbon and hydrogen.
Hydrocarbons:
______________: compounds that have the same number and type of atom but have different structures and different properties
Isomers:
________________: have the same molecular formula but they differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms
Structural Isomers:
____________________: have the same molecular formula but they differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms
Structural Isomers:
________________: carbons have the same arrangement of covalent bonds to the same atoms, but these differ in spatial arrangement
Cis-Trans Isomers (formerly called geometric isomers):
___________________: are isomers that are mirror images of each other and that differ in shape due to an asymmetrical carbon.
Enantiomers:
___________________: a specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to carbon. These are skeletons involved in organic molecules and organic chemical reactions
Functional Group:
______________________: a complicated organic phosphate. ATP consists of a string of 3 phosphate groups. When ATP reacts with water it dissociates and results in energy and ADP an inorganic phosphate. The energy produced during this reaction can be used by the cell.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP):
-CH4
Methane
-C2H6
Ethane
-C2H4
Ethene contains double bond
