Chemistry - Organic Families 1 Flashcards Part 1
This deck covers key concepts in organic chemistry, focusing on homologous series, hydrocarbons, IUPAC naming, structural isomers, and applications of alkanes and chloroalkanes.
What is homologous series
A homologous series is a family of organic compounds with the same general formula, same chemical properties with successive members differing by CH2

What is the general formula for Alkanes | Cn H2n+2 |
What is the ending for Alkanes | Ane |
What is a saturated compound | Has only single bonds between the carbon atoms in the compound ( no double or triple bonds) |
What are structural isomers? | Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae |
How many structural isomers are there for the forth members of the alkane family? | 2 |
How many structural isomers are there for the fifth members of the alkane family? | 3 |
How many strain how only sigma bonding takes place between carbon atoms in alkane molecules | Alkanes are saturated compounds ( contain only single bonds) between the carbon atoms Single bonds are always formed by a sigma bond |
Give two applications of the alkanes | 1 alkanes are excellent fuels ( for cooking and heating) 2 Alkanes can be used as lubricating oil in machinery |
What are Chloroalkanes | Coumpounds in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms in an alkane molecule have been replaced by chlorine atoms |
Give two applications of the chloroalkanes | Solvents - used in dry cleaning Paint stripper |
What’s the general formulas for alkenes | CnH2n |
What do alkenes end with | Ene |
Are alkenes saturated or unsaturated compounds | Unsaturated - compounds containing one double bond between some of the carbon atoms in the molecules |
What is an unsaturated compound? | Unsaturated compounds has double or triple bonds between some of the carbon atoms in the molecule |
