Organic Chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of
organic compounds. Organic compounds are those which contain carbon.
For conventional reasons metal carbonates, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide
are not included in organic compounds.
Structure reminder:
Name and draw the structures of methane, ethane, ethene, ethanol, ethanoic acid and the
products of the reactions stated in sections 14.4–14.6
State the type of compound present, given a chemical name ending in -ane, -ene, -ol, or -oic

the compound.
Name Number of carbon atoms
Meth… 1
Eth… 2
Prop… 3
But… 4
, Pent… 5
Hex… 6
The suffix tells you what functional group is on the compound:
Name Functional group Family
…ane None Alkane
…ene C=C bond Alkene
…anol R-OH Alcohol
…anoic acid R-C=O-OH Carboxylic acid
…amine R-NH2 Amine
