Organic Chemistry Worksheet Name________________________pd _______
(Reference -chapter 9 or 10 Power pt notes)
Organic has to do with living things, and organic chemistry centers around the element ________. This central element of life forms ______(#) covalent bonds, and is often attached to Hydrogen, which forms _______(#) covalent bond. The prefix tells the number of this central atom, and the suffix ‘ane’ means only single bonds are present. . These compounds are called ________________ because they contain the elements _____ and ______.
prefixes: meth = , eth= , etc up to 10
Example: ethane; the prefix ‘eth’ means 2, so the structural formula would be and molecular formula would be
Now, you write names, structural formulas, and molecular formulas for
The gas used in gas grills
The gas used in the Bunsen burners
The liquid in cigarette lighters
The liquid put into car to make it go (hint: use word on gas pump)
just molecular formulas for these; pentane, hexane, heptane, nonane, decane
An OH group can be substituted for an H to make an alcohol. For example, if that was done to butane, we would get an alcohol called butanol. Its structural formula would be and its molecular formula would be
Now, you write names, structural formulas, and molecular formulas for
The simplest alcohol
Rubbing alcohol
The alcohol made by fermentation; you can drink it when you are 21
______________ stop for now ______________________
An organic acid has a COOH group; the structure of pentanoic acid is this;
What would the structure of ethanoic acid be? Methanoic acid?
Carbon can form double or triple bonds. For example, the structure of ethene is : The structure for ethyne is:
(from the tape or research) When an alcohol is reacted with an organic acid, an _______ is formed. These chemicals are used extensively in the the _________ and __________ industry.
If a hydrocarbon has a double or triple bond, it is said to be ________________. If only single bonds, its is said to be ________________. These terms are important in our diets. Saturated fats are usually in the _______ state, found in _________ chains, and are ________ for our health, while unsaturated fats are usually the opposite. Isomers have the same ______________ , but different _____________. An example is butane and isobutane; draw structures for the 2 isomers and write formulas for each.
