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,  
🗑
