Orgganic Chemistry Flashcards
1
Q
IUPAC rules for nomenclature
A
Creates standards for the formula names of compounds around the world and allows the structure to be calculated from the name
2
Q
Homologous series
A
Organic compounds with the same functional group but compounds differ in the length of the hydrocarbons
3
Q
Structural isomerism
A
Same molecular formulae but different structural formulae
4
Q
Stereoisomerism
A
Isomers with the same structure but different configurations
5
Q
E-Z isomers
A
Same order different spatial arrangement as the double carbon bonds can’t rotate
