Topics in Organic Chemistry II

1

Alkanes (Saturated Hydrocarbons)

  • Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with only single C-C bonds
  • General formula: CnH2n+2 (where n = number of carbon atoms)
  • Also called paraffins due to their low reactivity
2

Alkenes (Unsaturated Hydrocarbons with Double Bond)

  • Alkenes contain one or more C=C double bonds
  • General formula: CnH2n (for alkenes with one double bond)
  • Show chain isomerism, position isomerism, and functional isomerism
3

Alkynes (Unsaturated Hydrocarbons with Triple Bond)

  • Alkynes contain one or more C≡C triple bonds
  • General formula: CnH2n-2 (for alkynes with one triple bond)
  • Show chain isomerism, position isomerism, and functional isomerism
4

Alcohols (Hydroxyl Derivatives)

  • Alcohols contain hydroxyl (-OH) functional group
  • General formula: CnH2n+1OH (for monohydric alcohols)
  • Show chain, position, and functional isomerism
