Functional Groups
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Alkenes | Double bond, C=C, always cis C_n, H_2n |
Alkanes | Single Covalent Bond, C-C, C_n, H_2n+2 |
Alkynes | Highly unsaturated (C≡C), C_n, H_(2n-2) |
Cycloalkanes | Saturated with single bond, C-C, in a ring. C_n, H_2n |
Cycloalkenes | Unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbons with triple bond in ring C≡C |
Aromatic Hydrocarbons | Alternate single and double bonds; undergo resonance |
Alcohol (O group) | Hydroxy group, R-OH |
Ethers (O Group) | R-O-R |
Ketones (O group) | C=O carbonyl group; alkane (C_n, H_2n+2) without H, + 2 carbonyl groups <4 carbons dissolve |
Aldehydes (O group) | 1 alkyl group(C_n, H_2n+2, - one H) + H atom + carbonyl group (C=O) |
Carboxylic Acid (O group) | R-COOH Acid derivatives come from these |
Esters (O group) | R-COOR |
Amides (O group) | R-CONH2 |
Amines (N group) | R-NH2 or R-NH-R or R-NR-R |
Amides (N group) | strong H bonds (carboxylic acid, COOH, but OH becomes NH2) |
Nitriles (N group) | Cyano Group (C=N) |
meth | 1 carbon |
eth | 2 carbons |
prop | 3 carbons |
but | 4 carbons |
pent | 5 carbons |
hex | 6 carbons |
hept. | 7 carbons |
oct | 8 carbons |
non | 9 carbons |
dec | 10 carbons |
