Organic Identities
- Alkanes
- These are organic compounds that consist of
only C-C bonds, so are saturated. Their general
formula is CnH2n+2
- Methane, Propane, Decane etc.
- Alkenes
- Organic compounds that have at least
one C=C bonds, meaning they are
unsaturated. Their general formula is CnH2n.
- Ethene, Butene, Decene etc.
- Cycloalkanes
- Organic compounds that have
the same general formula as
alkenes, but are arranged in a
cyclic shape.
- Cyclobutane, cyclohexane, cyclodecane etc.
- Aldehydes
- Organic compounds that
have a C=O bond at the
end of the compound.
- Ethanal, butanal, decanal etc.
- Branched alkanes
- Alkanes that have alkyl groups (CH3,
C2H6 etc) coming off them,
- 2-methylbutane, 2,3,3-trimethyldecane etc.
- Ketone
- Organic compounds that have a
C=O bond within the compound,
nt at the end.
- Propanone, Pentanone, decanone etc.
- Carboxylic acids
- These are organic compounds that have the
functional group -COOH, at the end of the
compound.
- Methanoic acid, Pentanoic acid, Decanoic acid etc.
- Alcohol
- Organic compounds that have the
functional group -OH-. They have
the general formula, CnH2n+1OH.
- Ethanol, Butanol, Decanol etc.
- Esters
- Organic compounds that have the
functional group -COO, and are
made by mixing an alcohol and a
carboxylic acid.
- Ethyl propanoate, Propyl Pentanoate, Decyl Decanoate etc.
- Haloalkanes
- Alkanes that have a
halogen replacing a
Hydrogen.
- 1-chloropentane, 1,,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluooroenthane
