Document Summary
Organic compounds contain: h and c atoms or something with the combination with other atoms like: n, o, s. Carbon is chosen for special study for its ability to form strong covalent bond with each other, and their ability for from straight lines, branches and chains. Hydrocarbons: simplest organic compound made with only h and c (ex. Ordinary lines used to show bonds that lie in the plane of the paper. Solid wedge: bonds that stick out towards the viewer, in front of the plane of the paper. Dashed lines: bonds away from the viewer, behind the plane of the paper. Isomers: compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formula. When isomers differ from their structural skeletons ( one is branched, one is straight) it is said to be skeletal isomerism. Saturated hydrocarbons: c-c bonds are single bonds only aka alkanes. When there is 2 isomers, for the straight liner structure use for ex.
