functional groups
Question | Answer |
---|---|
different classes of hydrocarbons | saturated alkanesunsaturated alkenes, alkynes, arenes |
saturation | no double or triple bonds |
degree of unsaturation | C + 1 − 0.5 * (H + X − N) |
unsaturation | has at least one double or triple bonds |
alkyl group | R- R=alkane |
hydroxyl group | -OH |
how are alkanes and cycloalkanes related | They are both hydrocarbons, have no functional groups, and are aliphatic |
aromatic compound | must have 6 electrons from 3 double bonds delocalized in a pi bond |
why are cycloalkanes not aromatic | must have 6 pi electrons |
cycloalkanes | types of alkanes which have one or more rings of carbon atoms in the chemical structure of their molecules |
aliphatic hydrocarbon | compounds that do not contain aromatic rings |
aromatic hydrocarbon | compounds that contain aromatic rings |
benzene ring | an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. It is sometimes abbreviated Ar–H |
arene | Ar-H |
aryl group | Ar- Simple aromatic ring |
cis isomer | same side of double bond on different carbons |
trans isomer | opposite side of double bond on different carbons |
alkenes | double bonds |
alkynes | triple bonds |
E configuration | (from the German entgegen) means opposite and corresponds to the term trans higher atomic numbers are given higher priority more than one atom has lower priority |
Z configuration | (from the German zusammen) means together and corresponds to the term cis;higher atomic numbers are given higher priority more than one atom has lower priority |
haloalkanes | R-X X is a halogen |
alcohols | R-OH |
ethers | R-O-R' |
amines | RNH2 primary, R2NH secondary, or R3N tertiary |
aldehydes | R-(C=O)H |
ketones | R-(C=O)R' |
carboxylic acids | R-(C=O)OH |
esters | R-(C=0)-OR' carboxylic acid where H is replaced with an alkyl group, contains carbonyl group C=O |
anhydrides | R(C=O)-O-(C=O)R' |
acyl group | R(C=O)- |
priority naming: carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino, carbonyl | The highest precedence group takes the suffix, with all others taking the prefix form. However, double and triple bonds only take suffix form (-en and -yn) and are used with other suffixes carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl, amino, |
