Study Notes
Alcohol
- a compound containing an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom
- Classified as primary (1°), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°) based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon bearing the -OH group
Aldehyde
- a compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydrogen; a -CHO group
Amide
- a functional derivative of a carboxylic acid in which an amino group replaces the -OH of the carboxyl group
Amine
- an organic compound in which one, two, or three hydrogens of ammonia are replaced by carbon groups; RNH2, R2NH, or R3N
- Classified as primary (1º), secondary (2º), and tertiary (3º) depending on the number of carbon groups bonded to the nitrogen atom of the amino group
Amino Group
- a nitrogen atom bonded to one, two, or three R groups, RNH2, R2NH, or R3N, where the symbol R represents a carbon group
Carbonyl Group
- a C=O group
Carboxyl
- carbonyl + hydroxyl group: a -COOH group
Carboxylic Acid
- a compound containing a -COOH group
Carboxylic Ester
- a derivate of a carboxylic acid in which a carbon group replaces the H of the carboxyl group; -COOR or -COâ‚‚R
Condensed Structural Formula
- a shorthand method for writing organic structures in which hydrogens are grouped with the atom they are attached to
Functional Group
- the group of atoms that gives a compound its identity; group of atoms within a molecule that shows a characteristic set of predictable physical and chemical behaviors
Hydroxyl (-OH) group
- an -OH group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom
Ketone
- a compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon groups
Organic Chemistry
- the study of carbon compounds
