Handout 2

?
Hydrocarbons
Contaons hydrogen and carbon
1 of 12
Aromatic
Have a benzene ring as part of their structure
2 of 12
Saturated
No carbon-carbon multiple bonds
3 of 12
Unsaturated
With at least one carbon-carbon multiple bond
4 of 12
Homologous series
Differ by an integral number of -CH2- groups
5 of 12
Constitutional Isomers
have the same molecular formula but the atom to atom bonding sequence is different.
6 of 12
Substitution reaction
an atom/group in the original compound is replaced by a different atom/group.
7 of 12
Elimination reactions
two atoms or groups are removed from adjacent carbon atoms --> formation of a multiple bond between two atoms.
8 of 12
Addition reactions
two atoms/groups are added across a multiple bond
9 of 12
Conformations
shapes that molecules can adopt, and which can interchange by rotation about bonds without bond breakage.
10 of 12
Configurational stereoisomers
have same molecular formula and same atom to atom bonding sequence, but the orientation of atoms/groups in space differs.
11 of 12
Enantiomers
Any molecule which contains a C atom which is bonded to four different atoms or groups is chiral
