chem 2 exam 1

alkanes are considered to be saturated. meaning they are holding as many hydrogens and/or side chains as possible

Both substances contain same elements w/ same # of atoms each element, but have different chemical & physical prop

all single bonds between carbons

Simplest of organic compounds are 

aliphatic hydrocarbons where all carbon to carbon bonds are single covalent bonds

the alkynes are considered to be unsaturated. meaning they could hold more hydrogens

at least one double bond between carbons

chemistry of carbon & carbon-containing compounds

Inorganic compounds are written in  molecular formula

has 1 valence electron/1 place available for bonding to other elements

-  formed when a hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane. this may attach to another chain of carbons as a side chain

compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon

-has 6 valence electrons/2 places available for bonding to other elements-

aliphatic hydrocarbons where at least one of the carbon to carbon bonds is a double covalent bond

the alkenes are considered to be unsaturated. meaning they could hold more hydrogens

compounds w/mostly carbons in the ring BUT w/something else present

at least one triple bond between carbons

organic compounds bonded in an -----------formation

aliphatic hydrocarbons where at least one of the carbon to carbon bonds is a triple covalent bond

has 5 valence electrons/3 places available for bonding to other elements

has 4 valence electrons/4 places available for bonding to other elements

all carbons make up the ring in
