Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds with other atoms. This allows it to make millions of different compounds.
Carbon can form single, double and triple bonds.
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds

Saturated hydrocarbons contain no double or triple bonds.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain double and/or triple bonds.
Can be straight or branched. Boiling point increases as
number of carbon atoms increases.
A hydrocarbon is a compound that only contains hydrogen and carbon atoms.

Definition/Functional group: contain at least one benzene ring, often with other groups added (“substituted” for hydrogen). Benzene exists as a resonance structure. It is also a carcinogen.
Prefix: Benz- Examples
Benzene Benzaldehyde

Definition/Functional group: contain an –OH group, called a “hydroxyl” group.
Suffix: -ol Examples
Methanol Ethanol Propanol
AlcoholsNote: not all alcohols are safe to drink (ethanol is the “alcohol” in all alcoholic beverages). The “alcohol” family is large and its members have many properties. For example, methanol is highly toxic!

Definition/Functional group: a hydrocarbon chain in which one of the links is an oxygen atom, bonded to a carbon atom on either side.
Suffix: -ether Examples
Ethers

Definition/Functional group: a hydrocarbon where one carbon atom is bonded to another carbon and two oxygen atoms, one through a single bond and one through a double bond. That sounds pretty confusing, but esters are easy to recognize. They all have the same basic shape as the picture above, where the letter “R” means carbon atoms or other “organic” groups.
Suffix: -ate Examples
Esters

Definition/Functional group: these are alkanes that are cyclic, meaning that the ends are connected to form a regular geometric shape. Ex. triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, etc. Benzene is not a cyclic alkane due to its double bonds and resonance.
Prefix: Cyclo- Examples: Cyclopropane, C3H6 Cyclobutane, C4H8
Cyclic Alkanes

We’re going to focus on naming the simplest kinds of organic molecules—alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, and aldehydes.
However, you will have to be able to classify the names and structures of each type of organic molecule in these notes, or to pick a name from a list that most closely fits a structure.

What kind of prefix or suffix matches each of these structures?

To determine the name of an organic molecule, first classify it by type. Then count the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.
For example, the following structure has one double bond, so its suffix is –ene. There are six carbon atoms in the chain, so its root is hex-. The name of this structure is hexene.
