Key Definitions for organic chemistry
Fichas del conjunto (18)
- 1General FormulaSimplest algebraic formula of a member of a homologous
series (ie) CnH2n+2 for Alkanes (non-cyclic) - 2Empirical FormulaSimplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a
compound. - 3Molecular FormulaActual whole number ratio of atoms present in a
compound. - 4Structural FormulaThe minimal detail that shows the arrangement of atoms
in a molecule (ie) CH3CH2CH2CH3 for butane - 5Displayed FormulaA formula that shows the relative positioning of ALL
atoms and bonds within a structure - 6Skeletal FormulaA simplified organic formula, shown by removing hydrogen
atoms from carbon chains, leaving just a carbon skeleton and associated
functional groups. - 7HydrocarbonA compound that contains only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms
- 8Functional GroupGroup of atoms in a molecule responsible for the
characteristic reactions of a compound - 9Homologous SeriesA series of compounds having the same functional group
& general formula but with each successive member differing by CH2 - 10Structural IsomerMolecules with the same molecular formula but with
different structural formula - 11StereoisomerCompounds with the same structural formula but with a
different arrangement of atoms in space. - 12E/Z isomerAn example of stereoisomerism, in terms of restricted
rotation about a C=C and the requirement for two different groups to be
attached to each carbon atom of the C=C bond - 13Cis / trans isomerA special case of E/Z isomerism in which two of the
substituent groups are the same - 14Bond FissionThe breaking of a covalent
- 15Homolytic fissionThe breaking of a covalent bond, with one of the shared
pair of electrons going to each atom, forming two radicals. - 16Heterolytic FissionThe breaking of a covalent bond with both of the shared
pair of electrons going to one of the atoms forming ions - 17ElectrophileAn electron pair acceptor
- 18NucleophileAn electron pair doner
