alkane
simplest hydrocarbons -saturated -no double bonds
36
general formula of alkanes
CnH2n+2
37
Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
a hydrocarbon composed of only carbons and hydrogens
38
aliphatic
no benzene rings
39
chemical properties of alkanes
-low reactivity
40
physical properties of alkanes
nonpolar -insoluable in water
41
homologous series
group of organic compounds with similar chemical and physical properties -structural -gradual change
42
Bromide test
a way of telling the physical difference between alkane and alkene -only alkene reacts
43
alkene
hydrocarons with one double bond -unsaturated prefix-#-ene
44
general formula for alkenes
CnH2n
45
properties of alkenes
-greater reactivity (double bond) -nonpolar, not soluable in water -boiling and melting points
46
alkynes
unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain a triple bond perfix-#-yne -linear by triple bond
47
general formula for alkynes
CnH2n-2
48
cyclic hydrocarbons
-longest chain, name that first and add "cyclo" as prefix
49
is cyclo aromatic?
no`
50
aromatic compounds
perfect hexagons -intermediate bond length
51
resonance (benzene)
electrons that are a part of the c-c bond are shared equally amongst carbons
52
aromatic compound with attachment 6<
-beneze is parent chain
53
aromatic compounds with attachments >6
-phenyl group attachment
54
aliphatic vs aromatic
aliphatic - straight chained/branched/cyclic aromatic - one or more conjugated beneze/heterocyclic rings
55
alcohols
contain the hydroxyl functiuonal group -OH
56
properties of alcohols
-very polar, due to presence of OH group -hydrogen bonding -usually soluable in water (length based)
57
Alkyl Halides
hydrocarbon derivative -contains one or more halogens attached to HC chain -polar bonding, high melting/boiling points
58
F
fluoro
59
Cl
chloro
60
Br
bromo
61
I
iodo
62
carboxylic acids
hydrocarbon derivitive -acidic -functional group
63
properties of carboxylic acids
-extremely polar -H bonding -generally soluable in water -high melting point and boiling point
64
methanoic acid
formic acid
65
formic acid
methanoic acid
66
ethanoic acid
acetic acid
67
acetic acid

68
the LONGER the chain gets...
less soluable -more fatty
69
the SHORTER the chain gets
more soluable -less fatty
70
meth - but
soluable in water
71
longer than pent
only slightly soluable
72
ethandioic acid
oxalic acid
73
oxalic acid
ethandioic acid
74
benzoic acid
-benzene attached to single COOH group
75
salicylic acid
-beneze attached to COOH group and OH group
76
Esters
usually sweet smelly stuff -COOC
77
hydrocarbons
just hydrogen and carbon -non polar -LDF only -only soluable in other nonpolar compounds
78
hydrogen derivatives
-started with hydrogen and carbon, then adds more -nonpolar (oxygen/halogen) -LDF -dipole dipole and hydrogen bonding -more soluable in polar solvents
79
groups with -LDF -dipole dipole -H bonding
alcohols and carboxylic acids
80
groups with -LDF -dipole dipole
Alkyl Halides and Esters
