CHEM 0310 Study Guide - Summer 2018, Comprehensive Midterm Notes - Chemical Bond, Carbon, Triangle
Document Summary
Fortney email subject line: 0310 su18 last name topic. What is ochem: carbon based compounds: important b/c makes 4 bonds and is catanate: can make bonds to itself more than any other element. What bonds c makes, how they"re made, are they reactive. It"s not the carbon carbon bonds were interested in but the functional groups, whats attached to carbon. Where the functional group is, is where the rxn group is going to be. Alkanes: single-bonded carbon compounds: know first 20 of them. Methane ch4, ethane ch3ch3 (c2h6), propane ch3ch2ch3 (c3h8), butane. Recognize that its a halogen, but mostly what it does to the carbon. Rule: the strongest acid has the weaker more stable conjugate base. The more stable the halogen is on its own, the better a leaving group it is from carbon and the better we can replace it with something else. I is the strongest leaving group because it has the weakest more stable conjugate base.
