Bonding of Carbon Atoms
 Carbon atoms have a tendency to covalently bond with other carbon atoms and form
chains.
Straight chains
Branched chains
Ring chains
 Carbon atoms are able to form up to four covalent bonds:
**Remember: Carbon has 4 valence electrons.
 Carbon atoms can engage in single, double, or triple
covalent bonds:
saturated compounds = contain only single bonds
unsaturated compounds = contain at least 1 double or
triple bond
Organic Molecules - Hydrocarbons
• contain H and C atoms.
• may be acyclic molecules (linear or branched) or
cyclic molecules.
• each C atom has a total of 4 bonds and each H
has one bond
• all C-H bonds are single covalent bonds ( 
bonds) but carbon-carbon covalent bonds may be
single (  bonds) , double (  bond and a  bond)
or triple (  bond and two  bonds) .

Naming Organic Compounds
 Naming straight-chained hydrocarbons:
 Use Reference Table P (Organic Prefixes) and Table Q (Homologous
Series of Hydrocarbons) to name & write the formulas.
 When naming alkenes & alkynes, indicate where the double/triple bond
is located in the molecule.
The double bond is
located on the 1st
carbon…so its name
would be: 1-butene
**The carbons are numbered so as to keep the
number for the double bond as low as possible**
Both compounds
have four carbons
(use prefix but-)
and a double bond
(use ending –ene)
The double bond is
located on the 2nd
carbon…so its name
would be: 2-butene
Both compounds
have four carbons
(use prefix but-)
and a triple bond
(use ending –yne)
The triple bond is located
on the 2nd carbon…so its
name would be: 2-butyne
The triple bond is located
on the 1st carbon…so its
name would be: 1-butyne
AP and Class Exams – you will need to
memorize the root names, functional groups
and the naming rules associated with simple
organic molecules

Naming Organic Compounds
 Naming branched hydrocarbons:
1) Find the longest carbon chain which contains the functional group or multiple bond if present and
name it (using Tables P & Q to find correct prefix & ending).
2) Number the longest chain (left to right or right to left) so that the functional group/multiple bond/longest
side chain (branch) is on the lowest numbered carbon possible.
3) Name each side group but change the ending to -yl.
4) Use a prefix di-, tri-, tetra-, etc. to denote how many side groups of each length are present.
5) Before naming the side group give the number of the carbon to which the side group is attached.
6) Arrange the side groups in alphabetical order ignoring the prefixes di-,tri-, etc.
Examples:
3.) The side group has only one
carbon, so use the prefix methand add the ending –yl: methyl.
1.) The longest chain has
5 carbons, so the prefix
pent- must be used.
2.) There are only single
bonds, so the ending –ane
must be used.
Name: 3-methyl pentane
4.) Since the side group is right in
the middle, the carbons can be
numbered from either side. The
methyl group is located on the 3rd
carbon.
3.) Each side group has only one
carbon, so use the prefix methand add the ending –yl: methyl.
Since there are 3 methyl groups,
use the prefix tri-: trimethyl.
1.) The longest chain has 4
carbons, so the prefix butmust be used.
2.) There are only single
bonds, so the ending –ane
must be used.
Name: 2,2,3-trimethyl butane
4.) Count carbons so that the
longest side chain has the lowest #.
The first 2 methyl groups are located
on carbon 2, and the next methyl
group is located on carbon 3.
Isomers
=
**As the # of carbon atoms in a compounds increases, the # of possible
isomers also increases.**
Example of Isomers:
All of these compounds
have the molecular
formula C5H12
Cis and Trans Isomers
• Alkenes exhibit not only structural isomerism but
geometric (cis-trans) isomerism as well. In
geometric isomers the bonds are the same, but
the molecules have different geometries.
Geometric isomerism is possible in alkenes
because rotation about the C=C double bond is
restricted.

trans 1,2-dichloroethene
cis 1,2-dichloroethene
Functional Groups
=
(1) Halides:
= when any of the halogens
(F, Cl, Br, or I) replaces a hydrogen
atom in an alkane
- named by citing the location of the
halogen attached to the chain and
adding the appropriate prefix
(fluoro-, chloro-, bromo-, or
iodo-)
Note: Table R provides examples
on how to recognize and name
compounds w/ each of the
functional groups!
(2) Alcohols:
= one or more hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon are replaced by
an –OH group (called a hydroxyl group)
Note: The –OH group does not
dissociate, and therefore alcohols
- named by citing the location of the –OH
are not bases/electrolytes.
However, the –OH group does make
group and changing the ending to –ol.
alcohols polar molecules.
- Classifying alcohols:
Monohydroxy alcohol:
one –OH group
Dihydroxy alcohol:
Trihydroxy alcohol:
two –OH groups
three –OH groups
- Alcohols can also be classified according to the
position of their –OH group:
PRIMARY (1o): the functional group is
bonded to a carbon that is on the end of
the chain.
SECONDARY (2o): The functional
group is bonded to a carbon in the
middle of the chain.
TERTIARY (3o): The functional group
is bonded to a carbon that is itself
directly bonded to three other carbons.
(3) Aldehydes:
= the carbonyl group (-C=O) is found on the end carbon
- named by substituting –al in place of the final –e of the
corresponding alkane name
(4) Ketones:
= the carbonyl group (-C=O) is found on an interior carbon atom
that is attached to two other carbon atoms
- named by replacing the final –e from the corresponding alkane
with –one; if necessary, cite which carbon atom the carbonyl
group is attached to.
(5) Ethers:
= two carbon chains are joined together by an oxygen atom
bonded between two carbon atoms
- named by first naming the two methyl groups, followed by the
word ether (when both R groups are the same, use prefix di-)
(6) Organic Acids:
= contain the carboxyl functional group (-COOH)
- named by replacing the –e in the corresponding alkane name
with –oic acid
(7) Esters:
= have the type formula R-CO-OR’ (R-CO-O- part of formula
comes from an organic acid; the R’ part comes from an alcoholsee Esterification)
- named for the alcohol and organic acid that make up the ester
(8) Amines:
= formed when one or more of the hydrogen atoms of ammonia
are replaced by an alkyl group
- named by changing the alkane ending of –e to –amine and then
numbering the alkane chain to show the location of the amine
group
(9) Amides:
= a compound formed by the combination of two amino acids
(See Condensation reaction)
- named by changing the carboxylic acid
acid reactant ending –oic acid with
-amide
Organic Reactions
**Note: Generally occur more slowly than inorganic reactions. When covalently
bonded substances react, they must first break relatively strong existing
bonds before making new bonds.**

Many of the molecules occurring in living systems,
such as the amino acids, are chiral and exist in
nature in only one enantiomeric form.
Example: Alanine
www.rikenresearch.riken.jp
Many drugs of importance in human
medicine are chiral, and the enantiomers
may produce very different biochemical
effects.
R-Albuterol used as a bronchodialator
S-Albuterol ineffective as a bronchodialator
and can counter the effects of the R-enantiomer
