CH 106 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Butane, Alkyne, Carbohydrate
Document Summary
Energy is not lost, it is transformed into a form that is not useful to us. Chain-hydrocarbon, each link of the chain is one hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are the simplest organic compounds, composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen. Substances can have same formula but different shape, called isomers ex. Can also have double and triple bonds, stronger (cid:498)links(cid:499) (cid:523)alkenes/alkynes(cid:524) Balls and sticks (3-d), sticks help us to see the angle of the bonds. Space filling (no stick connections, better representation of how they actually look) /\/\ line drawing-omits hydrogen (c5h12) one carbon at the end of each line, 3. Each carbon can have 4 bonds (double bonds count as 2) A group of hydrocarbons that have only single bonds. Small compounds are gas, medium chain are liquid (gasoline), big chain are solid (ex. Double bonds, occur carbon to carbon ene. Named with prefix denoting number of carbon atoms, followed by the suffix .
