CHM 1430 Study Guide - Final Guide: Triple Bond, Cycloalkene, Catenation
Document Summary
Def: molecules w same molecular formula but different structure. Condensed formula shows bonds between carbons (includes atoms) Shows only bonds between carbons, carbons are at vertices. #of carbons + type of molecule (depends if alkane (ane) alkene (ene) alkynes (yne)) Reaction with oxygen, hydrocarbons are converted to carbons dioxide and water (kj/gram) Conversion of carbons to co2 (bonds to oxygen) C bonded to oh (presence has large impact on properties of molecule) Molecule which can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer. String of monomers covalently bonded to one another. Linear: squiggly lines, but overall straight, no lines coming off. Arrangment of two+ polypeptide chains in the protein. Branched: squiggly lines, lines coming off, but all connected to one line each. Cross linked: squiggly lines, lines coming off, connected to various lines. Chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Most abundant class of organic compounds in living organisms (photosynthesis in plants too)
