The Structure of Organic Compounds
This post will be an introduction to the structure of organic compounds for QCE Chemistry.
4.1.1 – Structure of Organic Compounds
- Recognise that organic molecules have a hydrocarbon skeleton and can
contain functional groups, including alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones,
carboxylic acids, haloalkanes, esters, nitriles, amines, amides and that
structural formulas (condensed and extended) can be used to show the
arrangement of atoms and bonding in organic molecules - Deduce the structural formulas and apply IUPAC rules in the nomenclature of
organic compounds (parent chain up to 10 carbon atoms) with simple
branching for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones,
carboxylic acids, haloalkanes, esters, nitriles, amines and amides
Introduction to Nomenclature
A Crash Course on IUPAC Nomenclature, (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols (primary, secondary and tertiary), aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and amines.)
A video full of worked examples to practice naming Alkanes, Alcohols, Alkenes & Alkynes.
