Study Notes
Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, and Arenes
- Alkanes: Saturated hydrocarbons with only single C-C bonds, ending in -ane
- Alkenes: Unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one C=C double bond, ending in -ene
- Alkynes: Unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one C≡C triple bond, ending in -yne
- Arenes: Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing benzene-like rings
Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
- Aliphatic hydrocarbons: Alkanes
Alkyl Group
- Alkyl group: Formed by removing a hydrogen atom from an alkane, symbolized as -R
Cis-trans Isomers
- Cis-trans isomers: Same connectivity, different spatial arrangement. "Cis" positions are on the same side, "trans" on opposite sides of a ring or double bond
Common Nomenclature
- Common Nomenclature: Older naming system, still widely used alongside IUPAC
Configuration
- Configuration: Arrangement of atoms around a stereocenter, describing spatial orientation
Constitutional Isomers
- Constitutional Isomers (Structural Isomers): Same molecular formula, different connectivity of atoms
Cyclic Hydrocarbons
- Cyclic Hydrocarbon: Contains carbon atoms forming a ring
Cycloalkane
- Cycloalkane: Saturated hydrocarbon with a ring structure
Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbon: Organic compound solely containing carbon and hydrogen atoms
IUPAC Nomenclature
- IUPAC Nomenclature: International standard for naming chemical compounds
Line-Angle Formula
- Line-Angle Formula: Simplified representation of structural formulas, each vertex and line terminus represents a carbon atom, and each line represents a bond
Methylene Group
- Methylene Group: -CH2-
Natural Gas
- Natural Gas: Primarily composed of methane (90-95%), ethane (5-10%), and other low-boiling alkanes
Oxidation of Alkanes/Combustion
- Combustion: Exothermic reaction of alkanes with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy.
Propane
- Propane: Example of an alkane (CH3CH2CH3), used as a fuel source
Halogenation of Alkanes
- Halogenation: Reaction of an alkane with chlorine or bromine, substituting a halogen atom for a hydrogen atom
Petroleum
- Petroleum: Mixture of hydrocarbons
Saturated Hydrocarbon
- Saturated Hydrocarbon: Contains only single bonds
Stereocenter
- Stereocenter: Tetrahedral carbon atom, where the exchange of two groups results in stereoisomer
Stereoisomers
- Stereoisomers: Isomers with same connectivity but different spatial arrangements
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
- Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Possess one or more double, triple bonds or benzene-like rings.
