____
what are organic compounds
molecules which contain carbon atoms and are found in all living organisms
what are hydrocarbons
hydrocarbons are organic molecules that consist of solely Carbon and Hydrogen atoms
SUFFIXES -
alkane
alkene
alkyne
single bond –> ane
double bond –> ene
triple bond –> yne
PREFIXES (no. of carbons in longest chain) -

meth

prop

dec
position of double or triple bonds
- position is denoted by a number in between the prefix and the suffix
- count the carbons so the double or triple bond has the lowest locant
- has highest priority
side branch chains
- ethyl (CH3CH2)
- methyl (CH3)
position of side branch chains
- position number followed by the side chain name before the prefix (e.g 2,3-dimethylbutane)
- put prefixes (di, tri, tetra, etc.) before side chain names if more than one
- count side chains to have the lowest locant
key point in naming hydrocarbons
- determine longest carbon chain and type of hydrocarbon (i.e ane, ene or yne)
- choose a side to count from by assigning lowest locants
- if >1 side chain order them in alphabetical order and add prefix’s
what is a functional group
a distinctive chemical structure that is responsible for the chemical properties of a compound (types of bonds are their own functional group)
general formula for
- alkanes
- alkenes
- alkynes
- C(n)H(2n+2)
- C(n)H(2n)
- C(n)H(2n-2)
types of structural isomers
- chain isomers (formed by rearranging the carbon backbone into different chains)
- position isomers (formed by changing the position of functional groups to the carbon backbone)
- functional group isomers (formed with different functional groups)
what is a homologonous series
group of molecules in organic chemistry with similar structures and properties (e.g alkanes, alkenes, alkynes)
intramolecular bonding of alkanes
- single bonds are more stable than triple or double
- alkanes are unreactive in comparison
- single bonds weaker than double or triple (requires less energy to break)
intermolecular bonding of alkanes
- whole molecule is non-polar (only dispersion forces)
- as carbon chain increases, strength of dispersion forces increase
- branched chain isomers are weaker (decrease in SA)
addition reaction meaning
where a small molecule reacts with an unsaturated compound by breaking 1 or 2 pi bonds and adding across the former position of the pi bond
- symmetrical compound = 1 answer
- asymmetrical compound = 2 answer
hydrogenation of alkene meaning
addition reaction where hydrogen gas is added across the double bond to form an alkane.
- catalyst of Pd/C (palladium or granulated carbon)
ALKENE + H2 –> ALKANE
hydrogenation of alkyne meaning
addition reaction where hydrogen gas is added across the triple bond to form an alkene or alkane
- to produce alkane: catalyst of Pd/C
- to produce alkene: Lindlar catalyst or Pd poisoned with Pb
ALKYNE + H2 –> ALKANE
ALKYNE + H2 –> ALKENE
halogenation of alkene or alkyne meaning
an addition reaction where a halogen gas (e.g Cl2, Br2) is added across a pi bond to produce a halogenated organic compound
- no catalyst
- based on halogen it’s called bromination/chorination, etc.
ALKENE + HALOGEN2 –> ALKANE
ALKYNE + HALOGEN2 –> ALKENE
ALKYNE + 2HALOGEN2 –> ALKANE
hydrohalogenation of alkene or alkyne meaning
an addition reaction where a hydrogen halide (e.g HCl, HBr) is added across a pi bond to produce a halogenated organic compound
- no catalyst
- based on halogen it’s called hydrochlorination, etc.
naming halogenation compounds
- treat halogen as a side chain with the same prefixes, in alphabetical order and lowest locant
- F = Fluoro
- Cl = chloro
- Br = bromo
- I = iodo
what is hydration of alkene
is an addition reaction where water is added across the double bond to form an alcohol
- catalyst: diluted H2SO4 and 160C
- H2O spits into H and OH then adds
ALKENE + H2O –> ALCOHOL
what is an alcohol and how to name them
organic compounds with a hydroxyl group (OH= hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole bonding)
- add suffix ‘al’ ot the end
- lowest locas of OH group
what is hydration of alkyne
is an addition reaction where water is added across the triple bond to form a ketone (rarely aldehyde)
ALKYNE + H2O –> KETONE/ALDEHYDE
- catalyst: H2SO4/HgSO3 and 160C
- there is an intermediate alkene/ol
