Organic Compounds
Carbon-based molecules
2
New cards
Why Carbon = Backbone of Organic MCs

  • Builds many structure for life functions

  • very flexible w 4 covalent single/double bonds


3
New cards
Hydrocarbons

  • Nonpolar insoluble molecule with C + H

  • super hard to bond w polar H2O (oil)


4
New cards

Functional Group (meaning + ionizing diff charges)

  • polar/reactive group of organic compounds

  • Ionized w - charge

    • Weak acid ionizes, loses 1 H+ to H2O, solution more negative

    • carboxyl to -ate ion + phosphate to ion

  • Ionized w + charge

    • Weak base ionizes, gets 1 H+ forms H2O, solution more positive

    • amino to ammonium (N gains H)


5
New cards
Dehydration Reaction

  • Builds macromolecule by releasing H2O

  • Polymer + monomer ➜ longer polymer + H2O

    • H2O only released when connection’s made


6
New cards
Hydrolysis Reaction

  • Breaks down macromolecule by gaining H2O

  • Polymer + H2O ➜ Polymer + Monomer

    • H2O consumed to “cap off” broken edges
