organic system Flashcards
what must all organic molecules contain
carbon
what bonds do organic molecules consist of
covalent bonds
what type of compound are organic molecules
molecular
non-polar molecules, poor conductors, low melting and boiling point are the properties of
organic molecules
a hydrocarbon contains
only carbon and hydrogen
a saturated hydrocarbon has
all single bonds
a unsaturated hydrocarbon has
at least one double or triple bond
an isomer is
two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formula
as a compound has more carbons
the number of possible isomers will increase
if a organic reaction contains an halogen its
addition or substitution
addition starts with
alkene/alkyne
how many products does addition finish with
one product
how many halogens are on the product of addition
two halogens
substitution starts with
alkane
how many products does substitution finish with
two products
