Alkanes formula
CnH2n+2
Single bonds
Structural isomers
Compounds that’s have same molecular formula but different structural formula
Alkene formula
CnH2n
Double bond
Alkynes formula
CnH2n-2
Triple bonds
Ethanol reacting with
- Acidified potassium permanganate
- Fehlings reagent
- ammoniacial silver nitrate
- colour change purple to colorless
- brickred precipitate is formed
- silver mirror is formed
* all repeat with propanone*
Ketones are not oxidized by neither of them all
What’s a choloalkane
Compound in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an Alkane molecule have been replaced by chlorine
E.g.
Monocholormethane
Dichloromethane
Trichloromethane
Tetrachloromethane
What do alcohols have ?
-OH group called hydroxyl group
Functional group
An atom or a group of atoms which is responsible for the characteristic properties of an organic compound
Alcohols formula
CnH2n+1OH
Dsescirbe benzene
Carbon carbon bonds are intermediate between carbon carbon single and double bonds. That is shown by the circle inside the hexagon. Each corner represents a carbon atom bonded to a hydrogen atom
Primary alcohol
One where the carbon atom joined to the OH group is attached to only ONE other carbon atom
What is methanol
Toxic
Added to alcohol to prevent people drinking it
Causes blindness and death
Physical properties of alcohols
High boiling points
Completely miscible with water
Aldehyde
-CHO
-al at the end
E.g. Methenal
CnH2n+1CHO
Consist of carbonyl group c=o
Temporary dipoledipole bonds between aldehyde molecules
Ketones
O // R---C \ R
R are alkyl groups
End with -anone
