If neeedidng to name halogens in order, what order do you use?
Alphabetically
Ring structure
Cyclo

CnH2n+2
Alkene functional group and general formula
Double carbon bond
CnH2n
Alcohol
Ol
OH
Carboxylicic acid
Oicada
C=O-OH
Ketone
C-C=c-c
FIND THE LONGEST CHAIN
NO GROUP ON ONE EVER!!
Structural isomerism
Molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formula
Three types of isomerism and explain
Chain = different carbon backbone
Functional group = different functional group
Position = same functional group, different position
Stereoisomers
Molecules with the same structural formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space
E/Z isomerism criteria
C=C bond which restricts rotation
Each carbon on C=C must have two different groups attached
Cis/trans isomerism is a form of E/Z isomerism where
They have a group in common
Z is for
Zusammen = together
When both heavier groups are in the same direction (either up or down)
E is for
Entgeben = alone
Where both the heavier groups are diagonal
Trans is
Trans = different
Same group is in opposite directions
Cis is
Cis = same
Same group in the same direction
E/Z priority is based on
Atomic number
Hydrocarbon is
Molecule containing carbon and hydrogen only
Homologous series are
Molecules with the same functional group, general formula and each successive member differs by general formula
Functional group
Part of a molecule that controls how it reacts
Allanes are ———— hydrocarbons
Saturated no C=C bonds
Albanés are reactive or un reactive and why
I reactive = gave no polar bonds, only strong ones throughout
