TYPES OF COMPOUND
▰ ALKANES, ALKENES, AND ALKYNES
▰ COMPLEX ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
TWO GENERAL CLASSIFICATIONS
- HYDROCARBONS
- SUBSTITUTED HYDROCARBONS
- CONTAIN ONLY CARBON AND HYDROGEN
HYDROCARBONS
- CONTAIN A BENZENE RING OR A DERIVATIVE OF THE BENZENE RING
AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS
- NO BENZENE RINGS OR A DERIVATIVE OF THE BENZENE RING
- ALKANES, ALKENES, AND ALKYNES
ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS
2 types of Hydrocarbons
Aliphatic
Aromatic
– contain single C-H bond
Saturated
– contain 2 or more C-H bond
Unsaturated
– contain only single bond (ethane)
Alkanes
– contain at least one double bond (ethene)
Alkenes
– contain at least one triple bond (ethyne)
Alkynes
- WHICH ONE OR MORE HYDROGEN ATOMS IS REPLACED BY ANOTHER ATOM OR GROUP OF ATOMS
SUBSTITUTED HYDROCARBONS
- IS AN ATOM OR GROUP OF ATOMS ARRANGED IN A
PARTICULAR WAY THAT IS PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MOLECULE IN WHICH IT IS FOUND
FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
