45 Terms

1

unsaturated hydrocarbon

hydrocarbon in which one or more carbon-carbon multiple bonds (double bonds, triple bonds or both) are present.

New cards
2

unsaturated hydrocarbon

they have physical properties same with the saturated hydrocarbons but their chemical properties are different.

New cards
3

unsaturated hydrocarbon

They are chemically more reactive compare with their saturated counterparts.

New cards
4

presence of multiple bonds

serve as location where chemical reactions can happen

New cards
5

functional group

Wherever a specific portion of a molecule governs its chemical properties, that portion of the molecule is called _____

New cards
6

functional group

this is where most of unsaturated hydrocarbon chemical reactions occur

New cards
7

carbon-carbon multiple bonds

the functional group of an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

New cards
8

acyclic

an open chain structure

New cards
9

alkene

an acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.

New cards
10

CnH2n

general formula of alkene

New cards
11

ene

this suffix indicates the presence of pi bond or the double bond

New cards
12

dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halide

involves the loss of a hydrogen and a halide from an alkyl halide (RX).

New cards
13

dehydrohalogenation

normally accomplished by reacting the alkyl halide with a strong base, such as potassium hydroxide producing an alkene.

New cards
14

R-X + KOH > CnH2n + KX + HOH

general formula of dehydrohalogenation

New cards
15

alkane

this is formed when adding hydrogen to an alkene in the presence of a catalyst

New cards
16

addition of hydrogen

adding hydrogen to an alkene in the presence of a catalyst will form an alkane. Since there is the presence of pi bond (or the double bond) in an alkene, they are potentially more reactive

New cards
17

addition of halogen

a simple organic reaction where

a halogen molecule is added to the carbon–carbon double bond of an alkene functional group.

New cards
18

alkynes

represent the second class of unsaturated hydrocarbons.

New cards
19

alkynes

an acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon that contain one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds.

New cards
20

alkyne

it has four fewer hydrogens than the corresponding alkane.

New cards
21

CnH2n-2

general formula for alkyne with one triple bond

New cards
22

C2H2

simplest member of this type of alkyne has the molecular formula of ____

New cards
23

acetylene

common name for the smallest alkyne.

New cards
24

alkenynes

hydrocarbons in which both the double and the triple bonds are present.

New cards
25

C=C group

the alkene functional group

New cards
26

parent chain

it is identified in IUPAC name and this must include the two carbons with the pi bond.

New cards
27

pi bond

kapag hinahanap yung lowest number sa pagne-name ng alkenes, ito yung priority instead of the location ng substituents

New cards
28

sym

prefix used when the two groups bonded to the pi electron system/ double bond functional group is symmetrically situated

New cards
29

unsym

prefix used when the two groups bonded to the pi electron system/ double bond functional group is asymmetrically situated

New cards
30

ethylene

common name of CH2=CH2

New cards
31

alkadiene

group of open chain hydrocarbon with two double bonds

New cards
32

allene

common name of two double bonds in the same carbon: C=C=C

New cards
33

vinyl group

name of this group:

-CH=CH2

New cards
34

allyl group

name of this group:

-CH₂-CH=CH₂

New cards
35

divinyl

common name of this:

CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂

New cards
36

diallyl

common name of this:

CH₂=CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH=CH₂

New cards
37

dehydration of alcohols

the reaction of alcohols to generate alkene proceeds by heating the alcohols in the presence of a strong acid, such as sulfuric or phosphoric acid, at high temperatures.

New cards
38

sulfuric acid

The common acid used in the dehydration of alcohols which serves as the dehydrating agent.

New cards
39

alkene and water

products in dehydration of alcohols

New cards
40

dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halide and dehydration of alcohols

two preparation of alkenes

New cards
41

CnH2n + X2 > X-CH2-CH2-X

general formula of addition of halogens

New cards
42

addition of hydrogen and addition of halogen

two reactions of alkenes

New cards
43

terminal alkyne

If the triple bond is at the end of the chain, the alkyne is classified as a _____

New cards
44

acetylene

two carbons bonded with a triple bond

New cards
45

double bond

it has priority over a triple bond in numbering the chain, that is, when numbering systems are equivalent.
