Hydrocarbons Flashcards
(24 cards)
what hydrocarbon contains the functional group OH
Alcohol
what is the functional group for OH called
hydroxyl group
what are the characteristics of alkenes
one or more double bond
suffix -ene-
what are alkynes
they have one or more triple bonds, and their suffix is yne
what is the functional group of an alkane
there is none
what is a halogen
a group 17 element
what are the hydrocarbons including halogens called
haloalkanes
what type of bonds are found in haloalkanes
only single bonds
what does X represent
halogen
what is the functional group of an amine
amino group (NH2)
what are the specifications of Amines
contain an amino group (NH2)
chain contains the amino group
amino group must be named as to its position
what is the functional group in a nitrile
nitrile
do nitriles need the placing of the nitrogen to be specified
no because it is always the first chain on the group
what is the functional group in an aldehyde
carbonyl group (C=O)
what are the characteristics of a ketone
contains a carbonyl group
suffix -one-
carbonyl group aren’t in the chain
what is the difference between a ketone and an aldehyde
ketones don’t start with the carbonyl group, whereas aldehydes do, therefore the position on the chain isn’t specified in aldehydes.
what are the characteristics of a aldehyde
suffix - al-
carbonyl group is attached to the first carbon
what are the characteristics of a carboxylic acid
contains a carboxylic group (both a carbonyl group and hydroxyl group (OH and C=O))
chain must contain the carboxylic group
suffix -oic acid-
what are the functional groups in a carboxylic acid
carbonyl - C=O
hydroxyl = OH
what are the functional groups in an Ester
carboxylate O–C=O
how are esters named
- Alkyl group (contains the C=O
- Carbonyl (C–O)
what is the suffix of an ester
-oate-
what are the functional groups in an amide
carbonyl (C=O)
amino (NH2)
what are the characteristics of an Amide
contains a carbonyl and amino functional group
suffix -amide-
OH is replaced with NH2 in carboxylic acids
