Organic Chemistry

Isomers are compounds with the same

molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Different arrangement means isomers have

different physical properties

As the number of carbons increase the number of isomers

increases

As the number of carbons increase the BP and MP

increases

similar functional groups have

similar properties

different functional groups

different properties

Fermentation

Produces alcohol and carbon dioxide

Esterification

Acid and Alcohol produce ester and water

Saponification

Process of making soap

Substitution is

saturated

Combustion

PRODUCES Carbon Dioxide and Water

Addition

Unsaturated Hydrocarbon + one or more atoms synthesize

Polymerization

Small molecules join together repeatedly to form a larger molecule

A single carbon atom cannot

form more or less than 4 total bonds

Something organic always contains

carbon
