Organic Chemistry
- Hydrocarbons are organic
compounds that contain
carbon and hydrogen only
- Saturated hydrocarbons
is hydrocarbon with single
bonds, an unsaturated
hydrocarbon is a
hydrocarbon with double
bonds
- Aliphatic hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon with
carbon atoms joined together in a straight/
branched chain. An alicyclic hydrocarbon is a
hydrocarbon with carbon atoms joined
together in a ring structure
- Functional group is
the part of the
organic molecules
responsible for the
chemical reactions
- Homologous series is a series
of organic compounds with the
same functional group but
with each successive member
differing from CH2
- They all have the same
chemical properties
- Alkanes are saturated straight
chained hydrocarbons with single
C- C bonds. For each carbon, there
are four bonds and they are all
tetrahedral shape with bond
angles of 109.5 degrees
