Organic Chemistry:
The study of the physical properties of organic compounds the structure of organic compounds, the reactions of organic compounds
Organic Compounds:
Compounds containing carbon-carbon & carbon-hydrogen bonds

Hydrocarbons
- Compounds containing Carbon and Hydrogen atoms only
Aromatic
- Hydrovarbons containing the cyclic functional group: Benzene.
Aliphatic
- Hydrocarbons that form straight chains or cyclic chains. May contain single covalent bonds (alkanes), or contain
double covalent bonds (alkenes), or triple covalent bonds (alkynes).
Electronegativity
- A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
Polar
- A covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electrical dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative
Non-polar
- covalent bonds are a type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other. Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms.
Isomers
- Same molecular formula but different structural formula
Stereoisomers
- Same molecular and structural formual, but different 3-Dimensional structure
Diastereomer
- Based on a double bonded Carbon atoms which are bonded to 2 different species of atoms
- Achiral: Not mirror images of each other; cannot be superimposed on one another.
Cis
- 2 identical species of atoms on the same side of the double bond
Trans
- 2 identical species of atoms are opposite of each other of the double bond
Enantiomers
- Based on a Carbon atom which is single bonded to four different soecies of molecules
- Chiral: Mirror images of the compound; can be superimposed on one another
