What is a functional group?
a group of atoms that give an organic molecule its unique chemical structure and properties
What is a homologous series?

What is an alkane?
bonds, ending, type of molecule
- contains single bonds
- saturated molecule
- suffix -‘ane’
Why is alkane satuarted?
they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible
What is an alkene
bond, ending, type
- contains at least one double bond
- suffix ‘-ene’
What is an alkyne?
- contains at least 1 double bond
- suffix ‘-yne’
What are alkanols?
functional group, suffix
- contain a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group
- suffix ‘-ol’
What is a primary alcohol?
when the OH is attached to one other alkyl group
What is a secondary alcohol?
when the -OH is joined to two other akyl groups
What is a tertiary alcohol?
when the -OH is joined to three akyl groups
What’s a carboxylic acid?
- carboxyl functional group (COOH) that is always at the end of the parent chain
- suffix ‘-oic acid’
What are aldehydes?
- contain a carbonyl funtional group -C=O or -CHO
- suffix ‘al’
What are ketones?
- contain -C=O
- suffic ‘-one’
What are amines?
- contain -NH2
- suffix ‘amine’
What are amides?
what’s special about its naming?
- contain C=O or -CONH2
- suffix ‘amide’
- if nitrigen is bonded to alkyl group prefix ‘N-‘ before alkyl group
