Quality Materials
Organic chemistry
Branch of chemistry devoted to carbon-based compounds
Valence electrons
The electrons in the outermost shell, or energy level, of an atom
Lewis dot diagram
A diagram used to show how the electrons are arranged around individual atoms in a
molecule
Tetrahedral
A central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the
corners of a tetrahedron.
Planar
A molecule when all of its atoms lie in the same plane.
Linear
Geometry around a central atom bonded to two other atoms placed at a bond angle of
180°.
Molecular formula
Gives the number 0f atoms in a molecule, but does not give information on
arrangement.
Structural formula
Formula that shows the structural arrangement of all atoms in a molecule.
Acid
Substance that in solution produces hydrogen ions H⁺
Base
Substance that contains either the hydroxide ion (OH⁻) or the oxide ion (O²⁻) or that in
solution produces the hydroxide ion.
Nomentclature
A set of rules used for naming chemical compounds and determining their formula.
Oxyacids
Inorganic acid in which the anion contains oxygen
Hydrocarbons
Molecule made up of only hydrogen and carbon
Organic molecules
A chemical compound/ molecule that contains a carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon
bond
Alkanes
Family of hydrocarbons containing carbon chains with only single bonds between
carbons
Alkenes
Family of hydrocarbons containing carbon chains with at least one double bond
between carbons
