Organic Chemicals
Covalent molcuelces based ont he element carbon
check sheet for examples of alcohol
-lines represent the COVALENT BONDS
-All of these molecules are based ont he element CARBON
KEY
carbon atoms have FOUR COVALENT BODNS
hydorgen forms ONE COVALENT BOND
oxygen forms TWO COVALENT BONDS
These moelcules on the sheet have two parts
check star one
-Chain of carbon atoms bonded to hydorgen atoms .
-This part of the moelcule is called of the hYDROCARBON CHAIN
-the length of the hydrocarbon chain is dependant on the molecule .
check star two
-each moelcule also contains a second part
-the o-h ocygen covalnet onded o the hydrogen alcohol group is what scientists call thisese .
all of these molecules react int he same way but why ?
as they all contian an alchol group referred to as the FUNCITONAL GROUP OF ORGAIC MOLECULES .
What is a functional group ?
Prt of the moelcule that deretmines how it reacts (alchols all react ina simialr way becuse of their functional groups .
Alcohols are a homologous series , what does this mean ?
they have the sae fnctional group but each sucessive meember has an additional -ch2 .
my functional gro pis cll
example of me is cholormethane
wat is me ???
CHOLOROALKANESSS
yummyy
family of organic molecules is cALLED hydrocarbons
hydrocarbons are covalnet compounds containing only the elements carbon + hydorgen .
check sheet for all the hydrcarbons drawn
ETHANE has a SINGLE covalnet bond beween he carbon atoms .
-HYdrcarbons that only have a single covalent bond bewteen carbon atoms are called SATURATED hydrocarbons .
ethene has a double covalnet bond between caebrn toms
ethyne has a triple covalnet bond between carbon toms
any hydrocarbon with double / tirple covalne bonds betwen carbon aroms are called UNsatruaed hydrocarbons .
ethane is a memeber of the alknane homolgous series key though
-Alakanes have NO FUNCTIONAL GRoup BUT STILLR EFERRED TO AS homoglous series
part one of naming alkanes
1.the first paert of each name (aka prefix) tells u the NUMBER OF CARBONA TOMS
TABLE ON SHEET MUSTT LEARN AND KNOW
prefixes can also be used to name alkenes
alkenes with 3 carboncatoms
-name of all alkenes end in ENE .
3 carbonaTOMS SO PREFIX IS prop ene . PROPENE
Issue with alkenes with mroe than carbona toms
-the double bond cn be in different postions .
-TO nme the molecules we have to show the position of the double bond .
-TO OD THAT WE NUMBER THE carbon atoms .
-look at the shhet
-the double bond les betwen carbon 1+2
-in the name , we use the LOWEST OF THE TWO NUMBRTD that the double bodn lies in .
as the double bond lies betwen carbon 1 +2
the moelcule i called but 1 nee
check sheet of ranother example
-a carbon chain can me numbered frome ither left or right so wheere do we start ?
You choose the ned that to produces the LOWEST POSSIBLE NUMEBRS check sheet for the example .
in alkenes
we use a number to show the position of the double bonds
example of a branched chain hydrocarbon
branched chain hdyrocarbonds have a side chain / branch
- of naming
start by identifying hte longest ahin of carbon atom
the longest chain is 7 carbn atoms LOOK VERYY CAREFULLY WHERE IT IS .
-alaknes with 7 carbon chians are called heptane
- naming
look at the number of carbon atoms in sid chain
side chain has one crbon atom check dstar one .
-go back to the table - ONCE CRBON ATOM HAS THE PREFIX METH .
-so we call the side chin with one carbon atom the methyl group .
