Compounds containing CARBON |
What are ORGANIC COMPOUNDS?
|
C |
|
|
It is important due to its small size and its ability to make 4 covalent bonds with its 4 electrons |
Why is carbon so important? |
2 reasons |
|
|
Compounds that have the same number of atoms of the same elements but different structure |
What are ISOMERS? |
Isomers |
|
|
Structural isomers differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms. Enantiomers differ in spatial arrangements around the asymmetric C creating a mirror image. Cis-Trans differ in the attachment around the double bonded C. |
What are 3 different ISOMERS and how are they formed? |
structure, mirror, same side/opposite side |
|
|
The presence or absence of double bonds between CARBON and other atoms |
What determines the shape of a molecule? |
|
|
|
Hydroxyl, Carbonyl, Carboxyl, Amino, Sulfhydryl, Phosphate, and Methyl |
What are the 7 functional groups? |
|
|
|
a hydrogen atom bonded to an oxygen atom.
-OH |
Structure of a Hydroxyl Group |
|
|
|
It is polar due to the electrons spending more time near the electronegative oxygen atom. It can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules helping it dissolve compounds such as sugar. IS AN ALCOHOL |
Properties of Hydroxyl group |
