| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organic chemistry | study of carbon + carbon related compounds |
| ionic | bond between a metal and nonmetal |
| covalent | bond between two nonmetals |
| polar | EN difference of 0.5 to 1.5 |
| nonpolar | EN difference of 0-0.4 |
| Electronegativity (EN) | an atom's ability to attract electrons |
| Carbon EN | 2.5 |
| Nitrogen EN | 3.0 |
| Oxygen EN | 3.5 |
| Hydrogen EN | 2.1 |
| how many times does carbon bond? | 4!!!! |
| halogens | Fluorine, Bromine, Chlorine, Iodine |
| alkanes | C-C and C-H |
| Alkenes | C=C |
| Alkynes | C≡C |
| Aromatic/ benzene | 6 member carbon ring with alternating double bonds |
| heterocyclic aromatics | satisfy all rules of aromaticy, but contain other atoms (such as N and O) within the ring |
| Alcohols | O-H |
| Ketones | C / O=C \ C |
| aldehydes | H / C=O \ C |
| Ether | C-O-C |
| Ester | C=O attached to a C-O-C |
| carboxylic acid | O=C + O-H |
| amine | N-H |
| amide | N-H and C=O |
| alkyl halides | alkane + halogen |
| saturated | has the max numbers of hydrogens |
| unsaturated | has less than the max number of hydrogens (has double or triple bonds between carbons) |
| constitutional isomers | same formula different appearance |
| IUPAC | international union of pure and applied chemistry |
| 1 | meth |
| 2 | eth |
| 3 | prop |
| 4 | but |
| london dispersion forces (LDF) | momentary dipoles caused by the random movement of electrons; weakest of all three; all molecules have these |
| dipole-dipole | fixed dipoles (think magnet); stronger than LDF but fewer |
| hydrogen bonding | hydrogen attached to a nitrogen or an oxygen attached to another nitrogen or oxygen |
| Alkane intermolecular forces | LDF only not polar so no dipole-dipole no O's or N's so no hydrogen bonds |
| what raises LDF | adding carbons, which raises boiling point |
| branching causes ___________ intermolecular forces | lower; gives lower melting and boiling points too |
| alkanes physical properties | odorless, tasteless, colorless; less dense than water; not soluble in water (nonpolar); nontoxic |
| alkanes reactivity | burn for energy (exothermic) |
| products of alkanes in a chemical reaction | H2O + CO2 + heat |
| pi bond | additional bonds after the first initial sigma bond |
| cis-trans isomerism | when the carbons in an alkene (C=C) have 2 different substituent groups; the double bond does not rotate |
| cis | the hydrogens are on the same side |
| trans | similar groups on opposite sides |
| E/Z naming | isomers of double bonds that aren't cis or trans; the one with the higher difference makes the highest priority |
| addition reactions | 2 reactants combine to form 1 new product |
| Hydrogenation | add hydrogen |
| catalysts for hydrogenation | nickel (Ni), Palladium (Pd), Platinum (Pt) |
| Halogenation | Add either Br2 or Cl2 |
| Halogenation of bromine | bromination |
| halogenation of chlorine | chlorination |
| atomic number | number of protons |
| Hydrohalogenation | addition of H-Br or H-Cl |
| hydration | addition of H2O |
| markovinikov's regioselectivity | when adding a hydrogen it adds to the carbon that already has the most H's |
| common names for alkynes | acetylene is always last |
| hydrogenation turns an alkene to an | alkane |
| what should you use to convert propene to 2-chloropropene |
