Hydrocarbon: Skeletal formula:
molecule containing carbon abbreviates the carbon atoms in a molecule to p
and hydrogen only using lines to join them as covalent bonds
Saturated:
hydrocarbon that only has
C-C and C-H bonds
Unsaturated:
hydrocarbon with at least
one C=C/C≡C
Molecular formula:
a formula that counts every atom in the Displayed formula:
molecule, C6H14 shows all the atoms and covalent bonds in a mo
Empirical formula:
shows the simplest whole number ratio of all the H H H H H
atoms of the elements in the compound, C3H7
General formula:
one formula that works for all members of a
H C C C C C
homologous series, CnH2n+2
Structural formula: H H H H H
shows how atoms are joined together in a
molecule, CH3(CH2)4CH3
, Definitions
Functional group – an atom/group of
atoms in a molecule that allows it to have
certain chemical properties
Homologous series – groups of
molecules with the same general formula
(and same functional group/s)
• Similar chemical properties
• Each member differs by CH2 from the last
• Gradual change in boiling and melting
points
