Study Notes
Alcohol
- Molecules that contain an hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
- Classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°) based on the number of carbon atoms attached to the carbon containing the -OH group.
Aldehyde
- Compounds containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydrogen atom, forming a -CHO group.
Amide
- A functional derivative of a carboxylic acid, where the -OH group is replaced by an amino group.
Amine
- Organic compounds with one, two, or three hydrogens of ammonia replaced by carbon groups.
- Classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°) depending on the number of carbon groups attached to the nitrogen atom.
Amino Group
- Nitrogen atom bonded to one, two, or three R groups (carbon groups).
Carbonyl Group
- A C=O group.
Carboxyl
- Combination of carbonyl group (C=O) and hydroxyl group (-OH), forming a -COOH group.
Carboxylic Acid
- Compounds containing a -COOH group.
Carboxylic Ester
- Derivative of a carboxylic acid where the hydrogen of the carboxyl group is replaced by a carbon group, forming a -COOR or -CO2R group.
Condensed Structural Formula
- Shorthand notation for organic structures where hydrogens are grouped with the atom they are attached to.
Functional Group
- Specific group of atoms within a molecule that defines its identity and chemical properties. This group determines how the molecule behaves.
Hydroxyl Group
- An -OH group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
Ketone
- Molecules containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon groups.
Organic Chemistry
- The branch of chemistry that studies carbon compounds.
