What is a unsaturated hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbon with at least one carbon carbon (double or triple) bond
Haloalkane functional group
C-X
(where X is Br,I,Cl,F)
Fluro, Bromo, Iodo, chloro
Amine functional group
H-NH2 (single bonds)
-amine
Amide functional group
C=ONH2
-amide
Alcohol functional group
OH
-ol
Aldehyde functional group
C=O (on a terminal carbon)
FOR SEMI STRUCTURAL SHOW THE FUNCTIONAL GROUP AS CHO RATHER THAN COH
-anal
Ketone functional group
C=O (on a carbon within the carbon chain)
-one
Carboxylic acid functional group
C=OOH
-oic acid
Ester functional group
C=OO
yl (alcohol stem) oate (carboxylic acid stem)-carbon with double bond to oxygen

Alkane + X (Cl2,Br2,F2,I2) –>
Alkane + X –> Haloalkane + H-X (Br,Cl,I,F)
reagents: UV light
Haloalkane –> Alcohol
Haloalkane + NaOH/KOH –> Alcohol + NaX/KX
Haloalkane –> Amine
Haloalkane –> amine + H-X
reagents: (NH3 and ethanol solution)
Primary alcohol oxidation –>
Partial oxidation –> aldehyde
Complete oxidation –> carboxylic acid
reagents: MnO4-/H+ or Cr2O72-/H+
