TEST 2 Flashcards
a two dimensional representation that shows how atoms in a molecule are bonded together. It does not present the 3D shape but is more informative than the molecule.
STRUCTURAL FORMULA
2 types of structural formulas
EXPANDED FORMULA AND CONDENSED FORMULA
Drawing the structure of organic molecules shows all atoms and all bonds in a molecule
EXPANDED FORMULA
shorthand notation where the atoms are grouped together and the bonds are generally left off the formula
CONDENSED FORMULA
atom or group of atoms attached to chain or ring of carbon atoms
SUBSTITUENT
Type of condensed structure (does not show hydrogen)
LINE ANGLE STRUCTURE
saturated hydrocarbon where the C atoms are connected to each other in a ring arrangement
CYCLOALKANES
Alkanes/Cycloalkanes are _____ (MOST or LEAST) reactive of all organics
LEAST
2 reactions that alkanes/cycloalkanes undergo
COMBUSTION and HALOGENATION
