Types of structure
Types of covalent bonds
4 covalent bonds
Chains, branched chains, rings
Single, double, and triple
C-C C=C. C—C
Alkane
Only C-C single bonds
Alkenes
Contain one or more C=C bonds
Alkynes
Contain 1 or more C—C
Monomer
Subunits of polymers
Polymer
Made of monomers strung together
Hydrocarbon
Composed of C and H
Isomer
Compounds with the same molecular formula, but different structures
Carbon Skeleton
Chain of carbon atoms in organic molecules
Branched, butane (un un branched), isobutane
Functional group
A group of atoms that give the molecules they are part of certain chemical characteristics
Hydroxyl Group
Alcohols
-O-H
End in -ol
O is more negative, H more positive
Carboxyl Group
Carboxylic Acids
Acid
Carbonyl + hydroxyl
Carbonyl
Aldehydes and ketones

Amino groups
Amines
Nitrogen
Dissociation
Two water molecules interact to form a -OH and a H3O+
Acid
Substance that produces H+ when dissolved in water Low pH Little -OH Taste sour More protons
Base
A substance that produces -OH when dissolved in water
High pH
Little H+
Feel soapy
Hydroxide
-OH in higher concentration
More basic
Relative
Hydronium
H3O in higher concentration
More acidic
Relative
Math of pH
