Overview
Organic chemistry is the fascinating branch of chemistry that deals with carbon compounds. With billions of carbon compounds already discovered, systematic naming (nomenclature) and understanding their structural differences (isomerism) becomes crucial. This chapter explores how to name organic comp
Key Concepts
Systematic naming involves
Systematic naming involves: (1) Finding the longest carbon chain as main chain, (2) Numbering to give branches lowest position numbers, (3) Naming bra
Atoms or groups that determine chemical
Atoms or groups that determine chemical properties: Hydroxyl (-OH) for alcohols, Carboxyl (-COOH) for acids, Aldehyde (-CHO), Ketone (>C=O), Halo grou
For alkenes (double bonds)
For alkenes (double bonds): Number chain to give C=C lowest position, use 'ene' suffix (But-1-ene). For alkynes (triple bonds): Number chain to give C
Compounds with same molecular formula but
Compounds with same molecular formula but different carbon chain arrangements. Example: C₄H₁₀ exists as butane (straight chain) and 2-methylpropane (b
Compounds with same molecular formula
Compounds with same molecular formula and functional group but different positions of functional groups. Example: C₃H₈O exists as propan-1-ol (CH₃-CH₂
