Organic chemistry Flashcards
What are Alkanes
CnH2n+2
Single bonded molecules, between Carbon and Hydrogen
What are Alkenes
CnH2n
Double bonded carbon atoms in molecule
What are Alcohols
CnH2n+2O
Oxygen is bonded to hydrogen which is bonded to the rest of the molecule
What is organic chemistry
The study of carbon compounds
What do all Alcohols end with
-ol
What are Carboxylic Acid
CnH2n02
A Carbon atom=Oxygen atom and an OH attached to the same carbon
How to you identify Carboxylic Acids
They end in -oic acid
What are Aldehyde
CnH2nO
Carbon atoms=Oxygen atoms and a single bond with a Hydrogen atom and an R group
What is a Ketone
CnH2nO
Carbon atoms=Oxygen atoms and a single bond and 2 R groups
What are Esters
CnH2nO2
Carbon atom=Oxygen atom
Carbon atom-Carbon atom
