27
A carbon atom in an organic compound can be classified according to its _____________
degree of substitution
28
These are common and specific arrangements of atoms that impart predictable reactivity and properties to a molecule.
FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
29
Single bonds from carbon atoms. The names for specific compounds have an ”-ane” ending.
ALKANES
30
Contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond. The names for specific compounds have an ”-ene” ending.
ALKENES
31
Contains at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. The names for specific compounds have an ”-yne” ending.
ALKYNES
32
A special class of hydrocarbon that contains a special type of ring. (Benzene ring). Compounds containing these rings are called aromatic hydrocarbon
ARENES
33
Contains other elements other than carbon and hydrogen. The group of atoms containing the other element is considered the functional group. H and C, which are not part of the functional group, are called the alkyl group and are always denoted as “R.”
HYDROCARBON DERIVATIVES
34
The halogen replaces hydrogen. It has a generic formula of R-X where X=Halogen. ....H......H ....|.......| H-C-H-C-Cl ....|......| ....H.....H
ALKYL HALIDES
35
These compounds contain the hydroxyl group (-OH) to a saturated carbon. Generic formula is R-OH. ....H......H ....|.......| H-C-H-C-OH ....|.......| ....H.....H
ALCOHOLS

ESTERS
44
The –OH in the carboxyl group is replaced with an amino group. O ║ -C-NH2
AMIDE
45
Knowledge of functional groups is very important in drug design research. Researchers study the incorporation or derivation of different functional groups in a drug to ensure its effectiveness.
