Definitions
Hydrocarbon:
Compound consisting of hydrogen and carbon only

Saturated:

Contains single carbon-carbon bonds only

Unsaturated:
Contains a C=C double bond

Single Bond:

σ - bond

Double Bond:

σ - bond and π - bond

Triple Bond:

σ - bond and 2 π - bonds

Molecular Formula:




6-Organic Chemistry 1 2

, Formula which shows the actual number of each type of atom

Empirical Formula:

Shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in the
compound

General Formula:

Algebraic formula for a homologous series e.g. Cn H2n

Structural Formula:

Shows the minimal detail that shows the arrangement of atoms in a molecule

E.g. butane: CH3 CH2 CH2 CH3

Displayed Formula:
Shows all the covalent bonds present in a molecule




Skeletal Formula:

Shows the simplified organic formula - by removing hydrogen atoms from alkyl
chains, leaving just a carbon skeleton and functional groups




6-Organic Chemistry 1 3

, Homologous Series:
Families of organic compounds with the same functional group and same
general formula

Show a gradual change in physical properties (e.g. boiling point)

Each member differs by CH2 from the last

Same chemical properties


Functional Groups
Functional Group:
An atom or group of atoms which when present in different molecules causes
them to have similar chemical properties




6-Organic Chemistry 1 4

, Naming Carbon
Chains
Count the longest carbon chain.

Find any branched chains and
count how many carbons they
