Presentation Transcript

  1. Organic Nomenclature

  2. Organic Compounds • Organic Compounds - any covalently bonded compound containing carbon (except __________ and __________ )

  3. Hydrocarbons • __________ - Organic compounds that contain only carbon & hydrogen • __________ - contain only single covalent bonds • __________ - contain one or more carbon - carbon double bond • __________ - contain one or more carbon-carbon triple bond

  4. Saturated & Unsaturated Hydrocarbons • __________ hydrocarbons – contain only single carbon-carbon bonds (alkanes) • __________ hydrocarbons – contain double carbon-carbon bonds (alkenes) or triple carbon-carbon (alkynes) bonds

  5. Formulas • Alkanes = CnH2n+2 • Alkenes = CnH2n • Alkynes = CnH2n-2

  6. Nomenclature • Must memorize prefixes • To name, look at the formula for the hydrocarbon • Determine if it is an alkane, alkene, or alkyne • Use the prefix for the number of carbons • Add ending (ane, ene, yne)

  7. Example • Name C3H8

  8. Example • What is the formula for octene?

  9. Example • Name C5H12

  10. Functional Groups
