H Chemistry: Unit 8 Flashcards
(33 cards)
organic chemistry
chemistry of carbon and all the biological substances
organic chemistry: carbon
-makes 4 bonds
-makes up the base chain of all organic molecules
organic chemistry: hydrogen
makes 1 bond
hydrocarbons
simplest organic molecule made of carbon and hydrogen
alkane
carbon chain made of carbon-carbon single bonds
naming alkane
use base name, drop the -yl ending, and add the suffix “-ane”

alkane formula
Cn H(2n+2)
ring
enclosed chain of carbons; two hydrogens are lost in the formula
naming rings
add the prefix “cyclo-“
alkene
hydrocarbon that contains at least one double bond
naming alkenes
use base name and a locant and drop the “-yl” ending and ass the suffix “-ene”
locant
number of the carbon that double bond starts on; must have the lowest number possible
