Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

• What is it – chemistry involving carbon• Why study – molecular structure

concepts• What to know – naming system

– Prefix - # of carbons in molecule– Suffix – type of bonds between carbons

– Prefix values:

Examples• Practice

• Halogenation

• Functional Group(s)

Identifying General Trends

• Hydrocarbons containing only single bonds=alkanes

• Hydrocarbons containing one double bond=alkenes

• Hydrocarbons containing one triple bond=alkynes

• Create two examples of each (NB), draw structure, write formula, determine general formula, show me

Assignment

• Choose a functional group• What is it• How is it named (IUPAC)• Common Examples• Fantastic Example

Quick Presentationswhat to know
