QuestionAnswer
What distinguishes the characteristics of an atom? The number of protons it has
Atomic Number Number of protons
Atomic Weight/Mass Number Number of protons + neutrons
Isotope Atom with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. (same atomic numbe, but different atomic weight)
How to quickly determine the number of valence electrons that an atom has Correlates with the group number that the element is in
Describe Exothermic Reactions Reactions that release heat
Describe endothermic reactions reactions that absorb heat
Describe Ionic Bonds Eletrons are completely transferred Strongest type of bond Energy is required
Describe Simple salts Ionic Compound containing an anion and a cation
Describe Covalent Bonds Electrons of an element are shared by overlapping of their orbits; less energy is required
Describe Symmetrical covalent bonds These are pure covalent bonds; they have a net neurtral charge; very few molecules form complete symmetrical covalent bonds (most demonstrate some polaraization
Describe Hydrogen Bonds A bond between two 1-s atomic orbitals; electons in each atom are attracted to the nucleus of the other atom; the electrons continue to get closer to the nucleus until the positive charges of both nuclei repel one another (this determines bond distance)
Describe Sigma Bonds The strongest of the covalent bonds; they occur when the overlap of orbitals is head on
Describe Pi Bonds Occur when the overlap of orbitals are sideways, typically from adjacent overlap of p orbitals
Single Covalent Bonds Contain... 1 sigma bond
Double Covalent Bonds Contain... 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond
Triple Covalent Bonds Contain... 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds
Describe Organic Chemistry The study of carbon and the molecules that it forms
What is unique about Carbon It is tetravalent; it can form bonds with atoms other than non-metals; there are more Carbon compounds than any other compound in the world; it can form stable covalent bonds with itself, it can form single, double or triple bonds.
Describe an Organic Molecule Most are insoluble in water, they have a low melting and boiling poing because of the weak intermolecular forces; they contain polar covalent bonds
Describe an Isomer Different compounds that have the same molecular formula; they can differ by which atoms are bound to one another or by how they are arranged in 3-D space
Requirements for Isomers Same chemical formula, but different structure or spatial arrangement, they occur in org compounds that have more than 3 carbons, have the same atomic weight, have different physical properties
Constitutional Isomer Compounds with the same formula but different structural arrangement (different structure, different physical prop, different physiological prop)
Stereoisomers Atoms are arranged in the same sequence, but differ in their 3-D spatial arrangement, include diastereomers and enatiomer
Diastereomers Stereomers that are NOT mirror images of one another; includes cis-trans isomers and conformational isomers
Cis-Trans Isomer Same Chemical formula, but rotation does not occur around the carbon, carbon double bond (C=C)
Cis Isomer The functional groups are on the same side of the C=C bond
Trans Isomer The functional Groups are on opposite sides of the C=C bond
Conformational Isomers These are not really isomers; also called rotamers; the 2 functional groups are allowed to spin around the C-C bond freely; there are an infinite number of 3-D geometries.
Enantiomer These are mirror images of one another; they have the same physical and chemical properties, but different physiological properties
Describe Chirality One of 2 stereoisomers that cannot be superimposed
D-Isomer An isomer with a rectus (right) Spin
L-Isomer An isomer with a sinister (left) spin; left spin is more natural
Racemic Isomer A compound that has equal amounts of d-isomers and l-isomers.
Describe the structure of organic molecules They have an inert carbon backbone with at least one functional group.
Describe a Functional Group Set of atoms within a larger molecule that have a characteristic structure and chemical behavior; It largely defines the chem/physical properties of the molecule; They tend to undergo the same reactions in every molecule.
Hydrocarbon Functional Groups Flammable; contain only H and C, Include Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, and Aromatics
Alkanes Simplest of the organic compounds; contain no functional groups; relatively unreactive; saturated carbon
Alkane Prefixes 1-Meth, 2-Eth, 3-prop, 4-but, 5-pent, 6-hex, 7-hept, 8-oct, 9-non, 10-dec
Alkyl Group A substituent that branches off of the main carbon chain; ex.) CH3
Primary Carbon Attached to one other carbon or alkyl group
Secondary Carbon Attached to two other carbons or alkyl groups
Tertiary Carbon Attached to three other carbons or alkyl groups
Quaternary Carbon Attached to four other carbons or alkyl groups; does not cross the blood-brain barier or the placental barrier as easily
Alkenes Contain a C=C double bond and have a functional group; the simplest is ethene; the carbon is unsaturated
Alkynes Contain a Carbon Carbon triple bond and a functional group; the simplest is ethyne; the carbon is unsaturated
Aromatic 6 member carbon ring with 3 double bonds; very stable; the functional group is called a benzene ring
Organohalogen Compounds ORganic Compounds that contain one or more halogen atoms (I, Cl, Br, F); Haloalkanes are the most common anesthetic
Alcohols A hydroxly (OH-) is the functional group; the simplest is Methynol
Phenol An aromatic Alcohol; the hydroxl fuctional group extends from a benzene ring
Ethers Two Alkyl Groups that are bridged by an oxygen; most anesthetics are halogenated ethers
Amines Contain a functional group that is derived from NH3 (R3N); large number of medications are amines (dopamine, ketamine, epinephrine)
Amine Acid/Base Considerations A strong base that will accept a proton from a strong acid to form its conjugate acid (this is called an amonium salt and it's more soluble in H20 than the freebase form; by controlling the pH of the medium, you can control the solubility of many meds.
Carbonyl Group Carbon that is Double bonded to an Oxygen (C=O)
Aldehyde An alkyl group that is bonded to a carbonyl group (see actual card)
Ketone 2 Alkyl groups bonded to a corbonyl group (see actual card)
Carboxilic Acid Contain a Carboxyl Group (COOH) see actual card
Amide Derived from an amine and Carboxilic acid (see actual Card
Cycloalkane Ring shaped hydrocarbon with only single bonds
Isoflurarne IUPAC name 1-chloro 2,2,2 trifluoethyl 1,1 difluromethyl ether (see actual card)
Desflurane IUPAC Name difluromethyl 1-fluro 2,2,2 trifluroethyl ether
Sevoflurane IUPAC Name Fluromethyl 2,2,2-trifluro-1-[trifluromethyl] ethyl ether
Local Anesthetic Functional Groups Amides (have 2 I's in the name) Esters (have 1 I in the name)
Benefit of haogenating Alkanes anesthetic Gases They are less flammable
Enflurane and Isoflurane They are isomers. Same chemical structure and weight, but have different phyical properties
What kind of compound are Iso, Des, and Sevo? Methyl ethyl ethers
Ester Functional Group COO
Aldehyde Suffix -al
Ketone Suffix -one
ester suffix -ate
