Organic Compounds
|
Compounds that are carbon based.
|
|
|
Structural Theory
|
Carbon- tetravalent
Oxygen- divalent Hydrogen/Halogens- monovalent Carbon-Carbon bonds are the most common and they can form single, double,and triple bonds. |
|
|
Isomers
|
Different compounds that have the same molecular formula.
|
|
|
Connectivity
|
The sequence, or order, in which the atoms of a molecule are attached to each other.
|
|
|
Constitutional Isomers
|
Different compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in their connectivity.
|
|
|
Ionic Bonds
|
Formed by the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another to create ions that attract each other.
Often called "salts" |
|
|
Covalent Bonds
|
formed when atoms share electrons
|
|
|
Octet Rule
|
The tendency for an atom to achieve a configuration where its valence shell contains eight electrons.
|
|
|
Electronegativity
|
The measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons.
|
|
|
Formal Charge
|
Valence electrons of free atom - assigned electrons (1/2 of all shared electrons) = Formal Charge
|
