Organic Chemistry:


Functional group: An atom or group of atoms that form the centre of chemical activity in a molecule

Hydrocarbon: Compound containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms

Homologous series: Series of similar compounds which have the same functional group and same

general formula, in which each member di ers from the previous one by a single CH2 unit



Pre xes: Root name:

1. mono 1. meth

2. di 2. eth

3. tri 3. prop

4. tetra 4. but

5. penta 5. pent

6. hexa 6. hex

7. hepta 7. hept

8. octa 8. oct




Alkanes:

• Hydrocarbons with only carbon-carbon single bonds

• eg. methane:



ethane:



propane:



butane:




fi

, • General formula: T n = Cn + H2n+2



Alkenes:

• Hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond

• eg. ethene:



propene:



butene:



• Functional group: C=C

• General formula: T n = CnH2n



Isomers:

Compounds that have the same molecular formula but di erent structural formulae (have di erent

names)

• Positional isomers: Functional group is in a di erent location eg. but-1-ene and but-2-ene

• Chain isomers: Longest continuous carbon chain is a di erent length eg. butane & methylpropane

• Functional isomers: Molecules have di erent functional groups eg. ethanoic acid & methyl

methanoate



Saturated compound: Compound in which all the of bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds

eg. alkanes

Unsaturated compound: Compound in which there is at least one double bond and/or triple bond

between carbon atoms eg. alkenes (more reactive)



IUPAC Naming rules: for alkanes:

1. Find and name longest carbon chain
