Test 1 Review Flashcards
alcohol functional group
R-OH
- polar
- primary alcohol is attached to one carbon. secondary alcohol attached to 2 carbons. tertiary alcohol attached to 3 carbons
- named -ol ex) ethanol
- IMF: H bonds, dipole dipole, LDF
thiol functional group
CH3-CH2-CH2-SH
- nonpolar
- no dipol (sulfur and water have similar electronegativities)
- not soluble in water
- covalent
- named -thiol ex) propanethiol
ether functional group
R-O-R (O in middle of hydrocarbon chain) "hydrocarbons on ether side" 1. polar because oxygen and carbon 2. can be aromatic or aliphatic 3. named -ether ex)methyl propyl ether
aldehyde functional group
R-(C=O)-H. have a carbonyl group (C=O). ends in H 1. super polar 2. soluble in water 3. named -al ex) ethanal
ketone functional group
R-(C=O)-R. have a carbonyl group (C=O).
- super polar
- soluble in water
- named -one ex)butanone
carboxylic acid
CH3-(C=O)-OH
can donate hydrogen (acid is a proton donor)
contains carboxyl group (carbonyl, alcohol)
1. polar (electronegativity between C+O, O+H)
2. soluble in water unless R=mucho hydrocarbons
3. named “-oic acid” ex)ethanoic acid
4. IMF: H bonds, dipole, dipole, LDF
5. boiling point 118 degrees
esters
CO-O-CH "esters got a COOCH" 1. polar 2. make this with carboxylic acid and ETOH 3. named -oate ex)methyl ethanoate
amines
CH3-CH2-CH2-(N-CH2)-CH3
- primary attached to one hydrocarbon and likely two hydrogens
- secondary attached to two hydrocarbon and likely one hydrogens
- tertiary attached to 3 hydrocarbon, most lipophilic. least polar of the 3 (because difference between N-C is smaller than N-H)
- lipophilic but derivative of ammonia
- must have nitrogen
- act as bases in water, will accept proton (H+)
- named -amine. ex) dimethyl propyl amine
amides
CH3-(C=O)-NH2
- derivative of carboxylic acids in which nitrogen group (NH2) replaces hydroxyl group
1. carbonyl group makes it polar
2. -amide. ex)ethanamide
3. primary and secondary amides
4. IMF: h-bond, dipole-dipole, LDF
5. H bonds with H20
6. boiling point 222 degrees
Chirality
- only describing center carbon
- chiral carbon is stereogenic, everything rotates around it
- this carbon is connected to 4 different things
- cannot superimpose on itself
stereoisomer
more than one way to rearrange group. usually because more than one of the same thing
ex) C attached to H+, H+, Cl, Br
constitutional isomer
made up of same things but function as two different molecules
enantiomer
- prioritize 4 groups attached to chiral center based on atomic number
- orient so lowest priority group is projecting away
- determine if highest to lower priority is going clockwise (R) or counterclockwise (L)
alkanes
C-C
- nonpolar
- not water soluble
alkenes
C=C
- no chirality anymore
- nonpolar and hydrophobic
- only SLIGHT water solubility
