QuestionAnswer
Organic Chemistry is the study of Carbon and it's componds (structure, properties, and reactivity of carbon containing compounds, found in fossil fuels, plants, animals skeletons Examples include: gasoline, oil, sugars fossil fuels
Hydrocarbon contains Hydrogen and carbon Therefore hydrocarbons are organic, but all organic compounds are not hydrocarbons
Biomolecules-molecules of life Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, DNA
Why Carbon? is unique in its ability to form bonds Has 4 valence electrons, so it can bond 4 times to achieve a stable octet Can form a variety of compounds, ability to manipulate and react
Organic Chemistry shapes Can form Chain or rings of various sizes and shapes, can be very large
Hydrocarbons are the simplest C, H only
Aliphatic Hydrocarbons - straight chain Saturated and unsaturated are also called 1. Saturated hydrocarbons - Alkane 2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons - Alkene, Alkyne
Aromatic Hydrocarbons form rings, cyclo-
Hydrocarbons derivatives C,H,O,N,P,S and halogens (N.CHOPS)

Aromatic compounds are those who have only a ______________chain structure. closed
Molecular Formula shows the number of atoms of each element in a compound (least informative formula and least expanded form) Ex. Propane = C3H8
Structural Formula shows the fewest bonds as possible (number of atoms) in each element and the arrangement; most informative formula double bond = Bonds to carbon are shown Bonds to hydrogen are implied Bonds to other elements drawn at the end of chain
What is the most expanded formula? Most expanded form Lewis structure
Condensed/Collapsed Formula combination of both molecular formula and Lewis structure each carbon is written with its attached hydrogens followed by the proper Subscript Ex. Propane = CH3CH2CH3 Straight chain
Skeletal structures are bare bone structure and only shows the bonds between carbon atoms as each of the bond line) Carbon and hydrogen atoms are not shown explicitly All lines are drawn in except those of hydrogen
Types of structural formulas Straight Chain Chain and Branch Cyclic( Ring )

Straight-chain alkanes are made up of carbon atoms joined to one another to form continuous, unbranched chains of varying length.
Each compound is given a name that is based on the number of carbon atoms in its chain.
Alkanes general formula CnH2n+2
Cycloalkanes general formula CnH2n
All alkanes are non-polar and not radioactive
What do alkanes react with ___________and name the reaction React with oxygen and undergo combustion reaction. Carbon dioxide and water are burned products. Incomplete combustion results in carbon soot and carbon monoxide.
Cycloalkanes name shapes and smallest and most common Cyclo- ring compound , Form long chains also rings Smallest is cyclopropane ring is 3 carbon atoms Most common is five and six carbon rings Name based on the number of carbons with 1 hydrogen Cyclopropane, cyclohexane
All alkenes are nonpolar and do not break down easily / Not water Soluble Lipids and amino acids eg. cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane
Physical properties of alkanes The electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen are so similar that when these two elements form covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally, and the bond is nonpolar.
Physical properties of alkanes- composed of Composed solely of carbon and hydrogen and are nonpolar regardless of their shape. The nonpolar nature of alkanes affects the behavior of these compounds in aqueous systems.
Functional Groups of Singly Bonded C - bonds and charges Bonds are polar, with a partial positive charge on C(+) and partial negative charge (-) on electronegative atom
Organic compounds are classified based on functional groups, this is the reactive part of the compound Rest of the compound is represented with the R group (-R)
Heteroatoms elements other than carbon or hydrogen that are present in organic compounds
Functional Groups of Alkane: Alkyl halide Singly Bonded C C bonded to halogen (C-X)
Functional Groups of Alkane: Alcohol Singly Bonded C C bonded O of a hydroxyl group (C-OH)
Functional Groups of Alkane: Ether Singly Bonded C Two C's bonded to the same O (C-O-C)
Functional Groups of Alkane: Amine Singly Bonded C C bonded to Nitrogen (C-N)
Functional Groups of Alkane:Thiol Singly Bonded C C bonded to SH group (C-SH)
Functional Groups of Alkane: Sulfide Singly Bonded C Two C's bonded to same sulfur (C-S-C)
Functional Groups Doubly bonded to C=C (group) carbonyl
Alkanes can be both singly and double bonded to C. One is called _______________ and the other un_____________. Saturated and unsaturated
Functional Groups - carbonyl group: Aldehyde one hydrogen bonded to H-C-C
Functional Groups - carbonyl group: Ketone: two C's bonded to the C=C-CO
Functional Groups - carbonyl group: Carboxylic acid OH bonded to the C=O
Functional Groups - carbonyl group: Ester CO bonded to the C=O
Functional Groups - carbonyl group: Amide CN bonded to the C=N
Functional Groups - carbonyl group: Acid chloride Cl bonded to the Cl-C=O
Alkenes end in -ene Double bonded hydrocarbons contain double carbon to carbon bond
Alkene bonds These bonds are considered unsaturated hydrocarbons because more than 1 home to carbon atoms(acyclic hydrocarbon) Example: Ethylene (C2H4) C-C=C-C
General formula CnH2n for molecules with one double bond (and no rings)
Terpenes are the primary constituents of essential oils and are responsible for the aroma characteristics of cannabis.
Alkynes end in -ynes Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain carbon-carbon triple bonds. More than one bond between two carbon atoms
Alkyne bonds are triple but shorter and stronger than alkenes
Alkynes general formula is (CnH2n-2) for molecules with one triple bond (and no rings).
Aromatics / Phenyl Alkyne group Cyclic structure like ; have an aroma (aromatic compounds like spearmint and peppermint. Unsaturated closed six-membered ring- usually stable and not very reactive
Aromatics general formula is C4r+2H2r+4
Bonds between carbon in an aromatic is = (how many) Equal double bonds and equal single bonds
Benzene exhibits resonance. (Sharing of electrons) aromaticity also exhibited
Lipids are Fatty Acids
Saturated and unsaturated have the same meaning carbon-carbon bond.
Fats may be saturated (having single bonds) or unsaturated (having double bonds). Unsaturated fats may be _________(hydrogens in same plane) or______ (hydrogens in two different planes). cis or trans

Nomenclature : Straight-chain alkanes are made up of carbon atoms joined to one another to form continuous, unbranched chains of varying length
Each compound is given a name that is based on the number of carbon atoms in its chain.
Nomenclature :Alkanes that do not have their carbon atoms connected in a single continuous chain are called branched-chain alkanes.
The IUPAC nomenclature rules provides a ____________ ___________ for any organic compound and ensure that every compound has just one correct systematic name. unique name
All of the millions of organic compound names have three basic parts: Substituents- Attachments Parent Name - Number of carbons in the longest continuous chain Suffix- Family name Substiuents + Parent name + Suffix
Naming Branched Alkanes Identify the longest cont. chain of carbons. Identify the substituents to the main chain that were not part of the parent chain. Number the parent chain starting at the end nearest to the subs. Assign a number, (ABC order beginning name)
Naming Branched Alkanes - name change These are the alkyl groups for branched alkanes. -Ane changes to -yl
Haloalkanes Halogens are common substituents on alkane chains. These are also called alkyl halides. The substituent names of the halogens are fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo.
Rules for naming haloalkanes The rules for naming haloalkanes are the same as those for naming branched-chain alkanes, with the halogen being the substituent.
Nomenclature of cycloalkanes: The rules for determining the IUPAC names for cycloalkanes are the same as those for branched-chain alkanes, with a couple of modifications: Ring is parent chain (as long as it has more carbon that any other substituents Identify the substituent Number the carbons in the ring. Carbon 1 will always have a substituent Assign a number to the substituents
Isomer Molecules having the same molecular formula but different connectiviuty or arrangement , Has to have four or more carbons
Structural isomers two molecules have the same molecular formula but different connections to atoms, single atoms bonds in a non cyclic compound
Conformational isomer or conformer not different compounds; single bonds can rotate and make molecules look different but are the same molecule
Cis-Trans Stereoisomers occur where? occurs in alkenes
Stereoisomers two molecules have the same molecular formula and the same attachments to skeleton bt have different arrangement
Cis - isomer substituents at opposite end of C=C, are on opposite sides of bond
Trans - Stereoisomers stereoisomer molecule; opposite from each other Unsaturated fatty acids are C=C, only cis alkenes
Omega number indicates carbon position of double bond in structure of fatty acid (ω- omega)
Essential fatty acids- can not be produced by our bodies, component in fats and oils in triglycerides
Enantiomers- same molecular formula and same connectivity but non-superimposable mirror image, Known as chiral.
The molecule is said to be chiral if the image of the molecule cannot be superposed on its mirror image by any combination of translations or rotations.
How to determine Chiral center Locate tetrahedral carbons with four atoms bonded to them Determine if two or more hydrogens are bonded to the tetrahedral carbons- if yes then they can NOT be chiral center
Diastereomers non-mirror image and non-identical stereoisomers on one another
enantios in greek means meros in greek means (together make up enantiomers) the Greek word for opposite Greek word for part
Consequences of Chirality - Thalidomide medication given for morning sickness. Alleviated symptoms; however cause birth defects such as shortened limbs or no limbs.
