Compound whose molecular weight is mainly carbon

Detergents Cosmetics Plastics Pharmaceuticals Pigments Agriculture

Contains only carbon - carbon single bonds

Contains at least 1 carbon - carbon double or triple bond

Family of organic compounds whose successive members have similar chemical and structural properties, the same functional group and differ by CH2

Atoms or group of atoms that are bonded to organic compounds and give the compound specific chemical properties

Carbon atoms bonded together in a straight or branched chains No benzene ring

Carbon atoms bonded together in a cyclical ring No benzene ring

Some/all carbon atoms can be found in a benzene ring

Ol Al One Oic acid Amine

Hydroxy Chloro, bromo, iodo Methyl Keto Amino

Shows number and type of atoms present in a molecule

Smallest whole ration of atoms of each element present in a compound

Simplest algebraic formula for any member of a homologous series

Shows the relative positioning of atoms and bonds between them

Shows the arrangement of atoms and which atoms are bonded to which

A simplified organic formula that shows the carbon skeleton and functional group only

Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae

Grams / mr / lowest number

Bond breaks Both atoms leave with 1 of the shared pair of electrons

Atoms with an unpaired electron

Atoms that accept an electron pair to make covalent bonds Donate electron pair

Bond breaks 1 atom leaves with both electrons from the shared pair Leaving an anion and cation
