Bonding

Refer to the bonding unit (IMFs, strength of IMFs, polarity, molecular geometry, bond angles etc.)

What is Organic Chemistry?

• The study of carbon-based chemistry
  • All compounds will have carbon as the backbone/be carbon based
  • Often has hydrogen (hydro-carbons)
• Nomenclature of organic chemistry is developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)
  • IUPAC creates different ways to name pure and applied compounds

Prefixes

-ane, -ene, -yne (Carbon Chains)

• Monkeys eat peanut butter

1. Meth
2. Eth
3. Prop
4. But
5. Pent (all molecular prefixes after)

All Other Prefixes (Number of Carbon Chains, Number of Functional Groups, etc.)

<aside> 🌻 Remember to always use when there are multiple carbon chains, functional groups, multiple bonds, etc.

</aside>

1. Mono (not written, inferred by having no prefix)
2. Di
3. Tri
