-forms 4 bonds -can be single double or triple -can bond ot other carbons to make long chains

a saturated compund has single bonds only

an unsaturated compund contains carbon to carbon multiple bonds

a family of compunds with similar chemical properties whos successive members differ by the addition of a -CH2- group

carbon atoms joined to each other in unbranched or branched chains

carbon atoms that are joined to each other in ring structures without branches

-CHO (func group) -al (suffix)

-COOH- (func group)

-COOC- (func)

-COCl (func) -oyl chloride (suffix)

-NH2 (func) -amino (prefix) -amine (suffix)

-CN (func) -nitrile (suffix)

compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae

in compounds containing a functional group, the functional group can be at different positions along the carbon chain

-molecules containing different functional groups but have the same formula eg: Aldehydes and ketones with the same number of carbon atoms have the same molecular formulae

when a covalent bond breaks by homolytic fission, each of the bondoed atoms takes one of the shared pair of electrons from the bond. -each atom now has a single unpaired electron

an atom or group of atoms with an unpaired electron

when the covalent bond breaks, one of the bonded atoms takes both of the electrons from the bond -the atoms that takes both of the electrons becomes a negative ion -the atoms that does not take the electrons becomes a cation

where two reactants join together to form one product 100% atom economy

an atom or group of atoms is replaced by a different atom or group of atoms
