Organic Intro Terms Flashcards
what does the suffix of the parent name indicate
the family name/what types of bonds are present in the main structure
prefix for 8
octa
how do you tell if something is a structural isomer
they will both have the same empirical/molecular formula
whats the minimum amount of carbons needed to make a cyclic shape
3
whats the suffix of a branch
yl
what are the 4 ways to represent organic compounds
molecular/empirical formula, condensed formula, full structural formula, line diagrams
what’s a homologous series
a structure thats getting bigger and bigger
whats a molecular/empirical formula
regular chemical formula (ex. C4H10)
how do draw benzene
as a 6 sided closed shape with a ring in the center
whats a full structural formula
when you expand all of the hydrogen bonds
whats the general formula for an alkane
CnH(2n+2)
prefix for 5
penta
what determines how stressed a structure is
based on its number of bonds -> the more bonds a structure has, the more stressed it is
how do you determine what the main/parent chain is
count the number of carbon atoms to find the longest continuous chain
prefix for 4
buta
what are the three different types of homologous series
straight chain alkanes, alkenes, alkynes
prefix for 7
hepta
prefix for 6
hexa
family name for structures that have atleast 1 triple bond
alkyne
whats the formula of benzene
C6H6
prefix for 2
etha
prefix for 3
propa
prefix for 9
nona
whats a structural isomer
compounds with the same molecular formula bit different structural formulas
whats the general formula for an alkene
CnH(2n)
what does the prefix of the parent name indicate
the number of carbons in the main structure
family name for structures that have atleast 1 double bond
alkene
what does it mean for the structure to be ‘unsaturated’
carbon is not making its max number of bonds
whats the general formula for an alkyne
CnH(2n-2)
what is it called if theres structures attached to the main parent chain
alkyl branch
whats a condensed formula
when you don’t expand on all of the hydrogen bonds (ex. CH3-CH-CH2)
prefix for 1
metha
what does it mean for the structure to be ‘saturated’
carbon is making its max number of bonds
what do the numbers in between the prefix and suffix of parent name indicate and how are they written
the location of a double or triple bond, written in between dashes (-#-)
how is the parent/main named formed
prefixsuffix
prefix for 10
deca
family name for structures that only have single bonds
alkanes
what does cyclic mean
closed shape
