Document Summary

Chapter 20: organic compounds & atomic properties of carbon. The special nature of carbon & characteristics of organic molecules. *chemistry of organic molecule determined by functional groups it contains. At least one carbon to carbon double bond (one pi bond) At least one carbon to carbon triple bond (two pi bonds) One or more h atoms of ammonia replaced with carbon atoms. Carbon oxygen double bond, to which there is also at least one h atom bonded. Contains c=o bond, and c atom also bonded to adjacent c atoms. Contains c=o bond, c atom also bonded to oh group. Contains c=o bond, with c atom also bonded to o atom that is bonded to another c atom. Structures of hydrocarbons: hydrocarbons: simplest type organic compound, large group of substances containing only. If include multiple bonds and rings, number arrangements increases further.
