    Study Notes

    Formulae, Functional Groups, and Terminology

    • Displayed formulas show all atoms and bonds in a molecule.
    • Example: Methane (CH₄) has a carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms.
    • Example: Ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH) has a carbon chain with oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
    • Each element has a specific bonding capacity.

    General Formulae of Homologous Series

    • General formulae represent the composition of all molecules in a homologous series.
    • Alkanes: CnH₂n+₂ (e.g., for 5 carbons, C₅H₁₂ - pentane).
    • Alkenes: CnH₂n (e.g., for 4 carbons, C₄H₈ - butene).
    • Alcohols: CnH₂n+₁OH (e.g., for 4 carbons, C₄H₉OH - butanol).
    • Carboxylic acids: CnH₂n+₁COOH (e.g., for 4 carbons, C₃H₇COOH - butanoic acid).

    Functional Groups

    • Functional groups are atoms or groups of atoms that determine the chemical properties of a homologous series.
    • Example: The hydroxyl group (-OH) is the functional group in alcohols.

    Saturated vs. Unsaturated Compounds

    • Saturated compounds have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
    • Unsaturated compounds have at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms.
    • Alkanes are saturated, while alkenes are unsaturated.

    Structural Formulae

    • Structural formulae depict the arrangement of atoms in a molecule, typically showing all bonds and the connections.
    • Example: Ethene (C₂H₄) structural formula shows the arrangement and presence of the double bond.

    Structural Isomers

    • Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in their structural arrangement.
    • Example: Butane (C₄H₁₀) has two structural isomers: butane and 2-methylpropane.
    • Example: But-1-ene and but-2-ene are isomers for C₄H₈.

    Naming Organic Compounds

    • Alkane names end in -ane (e.g., methane, ethane).
    • Alkene names end in -ene (e.g., ethene, propene).
    • Alcohol names end in -ol (e.g., ethanol, propanol).
    • Carboxylic acid names end in -oic acid (e.g., methanoic acid).
    • Numbers are used to show the location of substituents or functional groups.

    Fossil Fuels

    • Fossil fuels include coal, natural gas, and petroleum.
    • The main constituent of natural gas is methane (CH₄).
    • Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon.
    • Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons.

    Fractional Distillation

    • Fractional distillation separates petroleum into various fractions based on boiling points.

    • Different fractions have various uses based on their properties.

    • Example fractions and their approximate properties include: refinery gases (lightest, lowest boiling point), gasoline (intermediate), kerosene, fuel oil, lubricating oil, bitumen (heaviest, highest boiling point).
