Organic ChemistryOrganic Chemistry
The study of carbon-containing compounds and their properties.
The vast majority of organic compounds contain chains or rings of carbon atoms.

Rules for Naming AlkanesRules for Naming Alkanes
1. For alkanes beyond butane, add -ane to the Greek root for the number of carbons.
C-C-C-C-C-C = hexane
2. Alkyl substituents: drop the -ane and add -yl.
-C2H5 is ethyl
Rules for Naming AlkanesRules for Naming Alkanes
3. Positions of substituent groups are specified by numbering the longest chain sequentially.
C C-C-C-C-C-C
3-methylhexane
4. Location and name are followed by root alkane name. Substituents in alphabetical order and use di-, tri-, etc.

Alkenes and AlkynesAlkenes and Alkynes
Alkenes: hydrocarbons that contain a carbon-carbon double bond. [CnH2n]
CC=C propene
Alkynes: hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon triple bond.
CCCCC 2-pentyne
Nomenclature for AlkenesNomenclature for Alkenes
1. Root hydrocarbon name ends in -ene
C2H4 is ethene
2. With more than 3 carbons, double bond is indicated by the lowest numbered carbon atom in the bond.
C=CCC is 1-butene
Aromatic CompoundsAromatic Compounds
Refinery ProcessesRefinery Processes
Cracking: large molecules broken down to smaller ones by breaking carbon-carbon bonds.
Pyrolysis (thermal cracking): The process that produces cracking at high temperatures.
Catalytic Cracking: Cracking at lower temperatures.
Catalytic reforming: Alkanes and cycloalkanes converted to aromatic compounds.

PolymersPolymers
. . . are large, usually chainlike molecules that are built from small molecules called monomers.

Types of PolymerizationTypes of Polymerization
Addition Polymerization: monomers “add together” to form the polymer, with no other products. (Teflon)
Condensation Polymerization: A small molecule, such as water, is formed for each extension of the polymer chain. (Nylon)
