Chapter 12 Flashcards
What is Organic Chemistry?
The study of compounds of carbon
What are Hydrocarbons?
Organic compounds that only contains carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Organic compounds with carbon - carbon single bonds are called?
What degrees is the angle, What’s the shape?
Alkanes
Organic compounds with carbon - carbon double bonds are called?
What degrees is the angle, What’s the shape?
Alkenes
Organic compounds with carbon - carbon triple bonds are called?
What degrees is the angle, What’s the shape?
Alkynes
What is Molecular Formula?
Lists kind and number of each type of atom in a molecule, no bonding pattern.
What is Condensed Formula?
Shows each atom and bond in a molecule.
What is Structural Formula?
Shows all atoms in a molecule in order, indicating which atoms are bonded to which.
What is Line Formula?
A way to represent a molecule’s structure by using lines to indicate carbon-carbon bonds.
What is the general formula for a Alkane?
CnH2n+2
n = the number of carbon atoms in the molecule
What are Cycloalkanes?
A hydrocarbon that contains the carbon atoms arranged in a ring
What is the general formula for a Cycloalkane? What is the Degrees?
CnH2n
109.5
What are Structural Isomers?
Structural Isomers have the same formula, but the carbon atoms can be connected differently.
- Alkanes containing 4 or more carbon atoms can form structural isomers.
