An open structure with 2 ends
Linear Structure
An open structure with more than 2 ends
Branched Structure
A closed structure
Cyclic Structurr
A closed structure with no ends
Cyclic Structure
Refer to how many points are there in a structure
Ring members
A single cyclic structure
Monocyclic
A two-cyclic structure
Bicyclic
A three-cyclic structure
Tricyclic
A four-cyclic structure
Tetracyclic
A structure composed of all carbon atoms
Carbocyclic
A structure composed of carbon and other atoms
Heterocyclic
A structure that has single bonds only filled with hydrogen atoms
Saturated
A structure with the presence of double or triple bonds
Unsaturated
The double bond is continuous
Cumulated Unsaturated Structure
A double bond - space - another double bond
Conjugated Unsaturated Structure
Double bonds are placed far from each other
Isolated Unsaturated Structure
Conjugated is always the best or priority answer in structures with both isolated and cumulated structure
CnH2n + 2

CnH2n
Alkene / Cycloalkane
CnH2n - 2
Alkynes / Cycloalkene
It is a branch of chemistry that deals with Carbon – containing compounds with: N, O, X (Halides), H
Organic Chemistry
ARE GROUPS OF ATOMS IN ORGANIC MOLECULES THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF THOSE MOLECULES.
FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
3 diff types of hydrocarbons
Aliphatic
Aromatic
Alicyclic / Carbocyclic
It consists entirely of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms
Hydrocarbons
single chain hydrocarbons
Aliphatic
presence of rings, esp Benzene and its
derivatives
Aromatic
chains that form a ring
and behave like aliphatics
Alicyclic / Carbocyclic
