    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 attached 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 where an amino group replaces the -OH of the carboxyl group.

    Amine

    • An organic compound with one, two, or three hydrogens of ammonia replaced by carbon groups; RNH2, R2NH, or R3N.
    • Classified as primary (1º), secondary (2º), and tertiary (3º) based on the number of carbon groups attached 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 R represents a carbon group.

    Carbonyl Group

    • A C=O group.

    Carboxyl Group

    • A combination of a carbonyl and a hydroxyl group: a -COOH group.

    Carboxylic Acid

    • A compound containing a -COOH group.

    Carboxylic Ester

    • A derivative of a carboxylic acid where a carbon group replaces the H of the carboxyl group; -COOR or -CO₂R.

    Condensed Structural Formula

    • A shorthand method for writing organic structures, grouping hydrogens with the atom they're attached to.

    Functional Group

    • The group of atoms that defines a compound's identity; a group of atoms within a molecule that exhibits predictable physical and chemical behaviors.

    Hydroxyl Group (-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.
