Q

what is the naming procedure for a branched alkane

A

1) find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms
2) label the carbon chain so the sub groups are on the lowest numbers possible
3) name each of the sub groups
- use dash between numbers and words
- use commas between numbers and number
- always order the sub groups by alphabetical order (ignore the prefixes)
- always list the number twice if there is more then one sub group that comes off of it
- the last sub group if there is any gets attached to the prefix for the longest chain

14
Q

what is a primary carbon

A

a carbon that is only bonded to one other carbon

15
Q

what is a secondary carbon

A

a carbon that is only bonded to two other carbons

16
Q

what is a tertiary carbon

A

a carbon that is bonded to three other carbons

17
Q

What is a ketone

A

when a compound contains a Carbonyl group (c double bonded to o) attached to a secondary carbon (when named they end in -one)

18
Q

What is a carboxylic acid

A

organic acids that have carboxyl groups attached to the primary carbon (they have a o double bonded to a carbon and a OH bonded to the same carbon)

19
Q

What is an ester

A

a compound where the H atom of the carboxylic acid is replaced by a carbon containing group (has a o that is double bonded to a carbon and the carbon is bonded to a different o atom and a different carbon group is bonded to the o that is single bonded in the first structure)

20
Q

What is the name method of a carboxylic acid

A

the name of the acid will end in -oic acid

21
Q

what is the naming method of an ester

A

the e in the parent chain is removed and an ending of -oate is added

22
Q

what is an amine

A

it is an ammonia where one or more alkyl group replaces the hydrogen atom in the ammonia molecule (alkyl is bonded directly to a nitrogen)

23
Q

what is a primary amine

A

when one alkyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom (contains two hydrogen)

24
Q

what is a secondary amine

A

when two alkyl groups attach to the nitrogen (still contains one hydrogen)

25
Q

what is a tertiary amine

A

when three alkyl groups attach to the nitrogen atom

26
Q

What is an alkyl group

A

is a chain or molecule of a alkane where on of the hydrogens are removed to connect to a different molecule

27
Q

What is an amide

A

An organic compound that have a carbonyll group attached to the nitrogen atom directly

28
Q

What is a primary amide

A

when the nitrogen is not bonded to an alkyl group (the nitrogen is just attached as an ammonia molecule not a connector)

29
Q

What is a secondary amide

A

when the nitrogen is bonded to a single alkyl group

30
Q

what is a tertiary amide

A

when the nitrogen is bonded to two alkyl groups
