Ch.11 Basic Componants Of Organic Chemistry

A series of compounds with the same functional group whose successive members differ by a -CH2 group

Group of atoms responsible for the characteristic chemical properties and reactivity of a compound

CnH2n+2

CnH2n

C=C -ene

-Cl -Br -I

-OH -ol

Carbonyl functional group -C=O I H -al

Carbonyl functional group C I C=O -one I C

Carboxyl functional group (COOH) C=O I -oic acid OH

R-C=O I O-R -oate

-C=O I Cl

1• 2• 3• R-N- H R-N-H R-N-R I I I H R R -amine

N bonded to a carbonyl -C=O I N

C atoms are joined In a chain

C atoms are joined in a ring

Contains a benzene ring

Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas

Same molecular formula but different functional groups

When a covalent bond breaks, each bonded atom takes 1 electron from the bond, creating 2 radicals

Covalent bond breaks, 1 of the bonded atom takes both electrons from the bond, becoming a negative ion

An atom or group of atoms with an unpaired electron

Electron pair donors They like + charge Electron rich

Electron pair acceptor They like - charge Electron poor
