CH 2 Functional Groups, Intermolecular Forces, and Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy

are compounds that only carbon and hydrogen atoms

are hydrocarbon that do not have multiple bonds between carbon atoms

contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond

contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond

cantain a special type of ring, the most common example of which is a benzene ring

compounds contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms that the carbon compound can posess, compounds such as alkanes

compounds with multiple bonds posess fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and they are capable of reacting with hydrogen under the proper conditions, compounds such as alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrogencarbons

a covalent bond in which the electrons are not equally shared because of differing electronegativities of the bonded atoms

it is defined as the product of the charged in electrostatic units (esu) and the distance that separates them in centimeters

are common and specific arrangements of atoms that impart predictable reactivity and properties to a molecule

are groups that we identify for purposes of naming compounds; an alkyl group is represented by the R symbol

a group in which a carbon atom has a double bond to oxygen

a simple and rapid instrumental technique that can give evidence for the presence of various functional grops
