orgo test 2 Flashcards
Structure
the connectivity and 3D nature of compounds
Bonding
the atoms and electrons that bind them
Reactivity
how to design and make new molecules
Formal charge
valence e - bonds - lone e
Octet rule
- always holds for C, N, O
- more important than formal charge
Formal charge trends
see goodnotes
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Carbon
naming brached-chain alkanes
general structure + rules
prefix: substituents and locations
# on parent (1,2)
(carbon chain prefix) -yl
parent: # of C atoms in longest chain (3)
carbon chain prefix
suffix: functional group
- # carbons to yield the lowest prefix
- # carbons to alphabetically order subst.
- if same length, chain with most branches
naming carbon chain prefixes (1-10)
see goodnotes
-F -Cl -Br -I
name substituents
CH(CH3)2
name substituent
isopropyl
-O(R) -OH
name substituents
-C6H5 -CH2C6H5
name substituents
naming rings
use prefix ‘cyclo’ + alkane
- number the chain so that subst. are in alphabetical order
- don’t put ‘1’
eg: methyl-3-propylcyclopentane
alkane
name, structure, suffix
alkene
name, structure, suffix
