Alkyne
Non-polar
if EN=0
Polar
if EN is greater than 0 but less that 1.7
Ionic
if en is greater than 1.7, or involves a metal and a non-metal
carbons key features
4 valence electrons
can form single, double, triple bonds
can form long chains when linked w/ other carbon atoms
Addition
2 reactants form 1 product
elimination
1 reactant forms 2 products
substitution
2 reactants form 2 products
types of substitution
condensation, hydrolysis
condensation
2 organic molecules forms one organic product and water
hydrolysis
water molecule is added to split a large molecule into smaller molecules
polymer
long organic molecules thats made by linking molecules, called monomers
natural polymers
naturally made
example of a natural polymer and its monomers (1)
DNA, monomers are nucleotides
example of a natural polymer and its monomers (2)
Protein, monomers are amino acids
example of a natural polymer and its monomers (3)
starch, monomers are glucose
synthetic polymers
generated in test tube
example of a synthetic polymer and is monomers
polyethylene. monomers are ethene monomers, used to make plastic bags and water bottles
