Hydrocarbon
Only carbon and hydrogen in them no other element
How do you name hydrocarbons
Count the carbons and use the prefix for that number
Ex methane

Isomer
Same formula but different shape and properties
Has to have same number of h
Monomer
One single small molecule
Like one Lego
Polymer
A large molecule made by putting together many small molecules
100 Legos stuck together
What reaction type is a polymer
Synthesis
Polymer examples
Carbohydrates
DNA
proteins
Hydroxyl group
-O-H
What is a functional group
A group of atoms with a particular job ( function) adding the group to larger molecules gives the molecule specific properties
What property does a hydroxyl group give
Makes soluble in water
Example of organic molecule that contains hydroxyl group
Sugars
Alcohols
Draw carboxyl group
.........O .......// ----C .......\ ........O-H
What trait does a carboxyl group give
Makes into carboxylic acid
Give an example of an organic molecule that contains the carboxylic acid
Fatty acids
Transfats
