Isomerism
37
isomers in which atoms have different partners.

Hydrocarbons can be A____ & A___
Aliphatic & Aromatic
46
Categories of Aliphatic
Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes
47
Hydrocarbon containing only single carbon-carbon bonds.
SATURATED HYDROCARBON
48
Hydrocarbon containing at least 1 double or triple carbon-carbon bond.
UNSATURATED HYDROCARBON
49
Group of related compounds in which each member differs from the one before it by the same additional unit. Ex: Methane, Ethane….
HOMOLOGOUS SERIES
50
Most fundamental class of organic compounds
Alkanes
51
Also called the paraffins or saturated hydrocarbons
Alkanes
52
Formula of Alkane
CnH2n+2
53
They are called saturated hydrocarbons because they have a carbon chain that is filled to capacity with hydrogen atom
Alkane
54
- Prefix = No. of carbons - Suffix = - ane - Straight or branched - Methane, propane, butane, and octane
Alkane
55
- has a cyclic or ring structure; - the smallest ring contains three carbon atoms.
Cycloalkanes
56
Formula of Cycloalkane
CnH2n
57
- Nonpolar. - Boiling point increase as # of carbon atoms increase. (van der Waals forces increase with size). - Insoluble in water. (Like dissolves like.)
PROPERTIES OF ALKANES
58
term ‘aromatic’ came up because earlier compounds found with a ring structure had pleasant fragrances.
Aromatic Hydrocarbons
59
One of the most important examples of aromatic hydrocarbons is ___.
benzene
60
First isolated benzene
Michael Faraday
61
proposed the benzene structure in 1865
Friedrich August Kekule
62
are hydrocarbons that contain a C=C double bond in the continuous carbon-atom chain.
Alkenes
63
Formula of Alkene
CnH2n
64
Alkenes are also called ___. This means some of the oil molecule contain a double bond.
