Module 6 None-Metallic Materials Objective One Flashcards
Organic Compounds: Solubility
in non-polar solvents
Inorganic compounds: solubility
in polar solvents (water, acids, bases)
Organic compounds: Phase
Gases/liquids/low melting point solids
Inorganic compounds: Phase
generally solids with high melting points
Organic compounds: type of bonding
usually covalent within molecules and static/polar between molecules
Inorganic compounds: type of bonding
usually Ionic
Hydrocarbons
only carbon and hydrogen atoms
Alkanes
single carbon-carbon bonds only C-C “ane”
Alkenes
at least one double bond C=C “ene”
Alkynes
at least one triple bond
-CC- “yne”
Aromatics
Benzene derivatives
Saturated bonds
when C-C bonds in a compound are all single (each carbon is attached to four distinct atoms)
Unsaturated bonds
organic compounds that have double or triple C=C CC bonds
Polyunsaturated
multiple double bonds present in a compound
meth
one
