Organic Molecules Nomenclature Part 1 Flashcards
What compounds that contain carbon that are inorganic
CO,CO2,carbonates
What is unique about carbon
It can bond to itself repeatedly
Carbon’s Column on the fence chant
Column 4A
Types of bonding patters carbon has
Chains, rings, multiple bonds
What type of bonds are carbon compounds generally
Covalent bonds
C-C bonds are
Uncreative (very stable)
How many bonds can carbon have
4 maximum with either itself or with other elements
Covalent bonds with carbon that are tetrahedral
Carbon with 4 single covalent bonds
Covalent bonds with carbon that are trigonal planar
Carbon with 2 single and 1 double covalent bonds
Covalent bonds with carbon that are linear
Carbon with 1 single and 1 triple covalent bonds
What do hydrocarbons contain
Only elements C and H
What are saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons
They are all single bonds=alkanes
What are unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons
Multiple bonds=have double or triple bonds=alkenes or alkynes
What is significant about aliphatic hydrocarbons that form rings
They have two less H than the chain so that ends can join
What forms can a chain be
Straight or branched
