  • Organic Chemistry
    • Alkanes
      • These are hydro-carbons with SINGLE COVALENT BONDS between carbon atoms. Therefore they are called SATURATED HYDRO-CARBONS
      • General Formula- CnH(2n+2)
      • METHANE (CH4)
      • ETHANE      (C2H6)
      • PROPANE     (C3H8)
        • 2 positional isomers
          • PROPAN-1-OL
          • PROPAN-2-OL
      • BUTANE                (C4H10)
        • 2 structural isomers
          • BUTANE
          • METHYLPROPANE
      • PENTANE           (C5H10)
        • 3 structural isomers
          • PENTANE
          • 2-METHYLBUTANE
          • 2-DI-METHYLPROPANE
    • Alkenes
      • An organic compound which contains a DOUBLE BOND between two carbon atoms, so is known as an UNSATURATED     HYDRO-CARBON
      • General Formula-       CnH2n
      • ETHENE                C2H4
      • PROPENE     C3H6
      • Functional Group-          C=C
    • Alcohols
      • General Formula-       CnH(2n+1)   OH
      • METHANOL        CH3OH
      • ETHANOL     C2H5OH
      • PROPANOL              C3H7OH
      • Functional Group-           -OH
    • The FUNCTIONALGROUP is the groups of atoms in molecules that are responsible for characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.
    • ISOMERS
      • Isomers are molecules with same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms within molecules.
