New cards

Organic Chemistry

  • Carbon containing molecules

  • 4 electrons in outer shell - up to 4 covalent bonds

- usually doesn’t make ionic bonds


2
New cards

Hydrocarbons

  • Made up of hydrogen and carbon

  • Simplest version = methane

  • Can make long chains

- branched or unbranched

- -ane = single bond, -ene = double bond, -yne = triple bond

  • Aliphate - linear, or cyclic with all single bonds

  • Aromatic - cyclic and alternating single/double bonds


3
New cards

Isomers

  • Same formula, different function

- structural: different placements of covalent bonds

- geometric: different organization of functional groups

- enantiomers: “non-superimposable”


4
New cards

Functional Groups

  • Groups of atoms that give a molecule specific properties

  • Common and important in biological macromolecules
