Carbon compounds
|
Are the backbone of large organic molecules
|
|
|
|
Hydrocarbons
|
Simplest form of carbon compounds
|
Made of carbon and hydrogen they form a nonpolar or neutral charge hydrocarbonic. These are all covalent bonds again a chemistry
|
|
|
Organic chemistry
|
The branch of chemistry that specializes in the study of carbon compounds
|
|
|
|
Isomer
|
Compounds with the same formula but different structures
|
|
|
|
Structural isomer
|
Isomer differ in covalent partners
|
|
|
|
Geometric (Cis-trans)
|
Isomer that differ in arrangement about a double bond
|
Cis - two on the same side
Trans- two on opposite sides |
|
|
Enantiomer
|
Isomer that differ in spatial arrangement, molecules that are mirror images due to the presence asymmetric Carbon
|
|
|
|
Who is Stanley Miller
|
He came up with the idea of molecules were the first step in the origin of life
|
|
|
|
Functional groups
|
Chemical groups affect molecular function by being directly involved in chemical reactions
|
|
|
|
Hydroxyl (-OH)
|
a hydrogen atom bonded to an oxygen atom , which is bonded to carbon skeleton of the organic molecule ; forms alcohols
|
sugar; polar
|
|
|
Carbonyl (>CO)
|
consist of a carbon atom joining to an oxygen atom a double bond; form ketones and aldehydes
|
Compounds are proteins; polar acid
|
|
|
Carboxyl (-COOH)
|
An oxygen atom is double bonded to a carbon atom that is also bonded to an (-OH) group; forms carboxylic acids
|
Proteins,Polar acid
|
|
|
Amino (-NH2)
|
consist of a nice gym at some bonded to two hydrogen atoms and to the carbon skeleton; forms amines
|
Amino acid;Polar, basic
|
|
|
Sulfhydryl (-SH)
|
consists of a sulfur atom bonded to an atom of hydrogen, forms thiols
|
Proteins; polar
|
|
|
Phosphate (PO4^2-)
|
Phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms, forms organic phosphate
|
Very polar, hydrophilic; ATP and DNA
|
|
|
Methyl (-CH3)
|
Consist of carbon bonded to three hydrogen atoms; forms methylated compounds
|
Nonpolar hydrophobic
|
|
|
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
|
Consist of adenosine attached to 3 phosphate groups
|
