ORGANIC CHEM

Cards (18)

  • Organic compounds contain carbon, usually bonded to Hydrogen
  • Inorganic compound usually didn't contain Carbon
  • Inorganic carbon is carbon extracted from ores and minerals
  • Organic carbon is found from nature from plants and living things
  • Organic compounds include complex structures and high molecular weights
  • These are soluble in organic solvents and mostly insoluble in water = Organic Compound
  • Organic Compound nostly depend on three elements = Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen
  • Shows the most clear visual structure of an organic compound = Displayed Formula
  • Condensed display formula = Structural Formula
  • Shows the total number of a element in an compound but not how they're distributed = Molecular Formula
  • Shows the simplest form of an formula = Empirical Formula
  • What is the structural formula of this = CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3
  • What is the molecular formula of this CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3 = C5H12
  • What is the empirical formula of this C6H2 = C3H
  • Types of isomerism = Structural Isomerism and Stereoisomerism
  • Types of structural isomerism = Chain, Position, Functional
  • Types of Stereoisomerism = Geometric and Optical
  • Functional groups in Organic Chemistry = Hydrocarbon, Simple Oxygen Heteroatoms, Halogen Heteroatoms, Carbonyl Compounds, Nitrogen Based, Sulfur Based, Aromatic
