Chemistry Chapters 13-15

Alkane

single carbon-carbon bond

Alkene

double carbon-carbon bonds

Alkyne

triple carbon-carbon bonds

Hydrocarbon

Compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen

describe the alk’s

nonpolar, weak intermolecular bonds, low melting and boiling points, insoluble to water, and unsaturated hydrocarbons

Why are the Alk’s unsaturated hydrocarbons?

because they contain fewer than the max number of H atoms per C

What is the base of a carbonyl group?

carbon-oxygen double bonds

What does oxidation result in?

an increase in CO bonds and a decrease in CH bonds

What is the oxidation process?

Alcohol to aldehyde to carboxylic acid

How do you do ester formation/fisher esterification

swap the OH and the molecule bonded to the H, and make the new molecule and add H2O

How do you do ester hydrolysis?

take the ester and the OH with the H2O and switch them

What are the formation groups

alkyl halide, alcohol, ether, amine

What are the carbonyl groups

aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, amide

What is an aromatic compound?

A hexagon with 3 double bonds inside

what are isomers

different compounds that have the same molecular formula but different atom activity

name the way drugs can be named

systematic, generic, and trade
