UNPACKING CHEMICAL FORMULAS
ORGANIC MOLECULES
Organic molecules are larger in size
Ex 1: CH4 (methane)
EX 2:
Covalent Bonds - sharing electrons
CARBON AND HYDROGEN ATOMS
up to four covalent bonds
Carbon is found in all organic molecules and its capable of forming chains and rings
INORGANIC MOLECUES
Ionic Bonds - transferring electrons
STRUCTURAL FORMULAS
ALKANE BONDS
-
SATURATED HYDROCARBONS
Hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds btwn carbon atoms
hydrocarbons that contain at least one double bond between carbon atoms
ALKYNE BONDS
- UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS
hydrocarbons that contain at least one triple bond between carbon atoms
ALKANE FAM = Methane, Ethane, Propane
ALKENES BONDS
-
UNSATURADED HYDROCARBONS
Table P in the reference sheet will help you figure out the number of carbon atoms
The Prefix in an organic compound indicates the # of carbon atoms in a chain
Covalent bonding is present in both organic and inorganic molecules
