GENERAL CHEMISTRY

Functional Groups, Structural Isomerism and


Simple Reactions
Hydrocarbons - are molecules containing hydrogen amd
carbon only
Functional Groups - an atom or group of atoms that give
characteristic properties to the compounds in which they
are present
Some of the main players of functional groups includes:
R- represents the “rest of the molecule”. It consists of a
group of carbon and hydrogen atoms of any size.
FUNCTIONAL GROUPS EXAMPLES
Alcohol R— OH

Aldehydes R—CHO

Alkylehalides R—X

Aamines R—NH2

Carboxylic acids R—COOH

ketones R—CO—R

Ether R—O—R
Alcohol —OH

Methane Alkyl Radical Alcohol (hydroxyl)

functional

—OH
changes the
function of

represented by R Methanol
(Methyl Alcohol)
Ether —O—

Alkyl Radical Ether

functional
group

—O—
changes the
function of Dimethyl Ether
represented by R alkyl radical
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM
Isomers- are molecules that have the same molecular
formula, but have different arrangement of the atoms.

Butane
First Isomer Second Isomer

C4H10
C4H10
Chain Isomerism- shows different skeletons of carbon atom
due to branching while keeping the same molecular
formula.
Normal Butane (n-butane) Isobotane

C4H10
C4H10
Straight-chain molecule Branched-chain molecule
boiling point: -0.5°C boiling point: -12°C
Position Isomerism- two or more compound having same
molecular formula, same functional group, but different
position of functional group.
C3H7Br

1-bromopropane
2-bromopropane
Functional Group Isomerism- the compounds having the
same molecular formula but different functional groups

Propanal (an Aldehyde) Propanone (a Ketone)

C3H6O C3H6O
REACTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
1. Combustion of fuels- is a chemical process in which a
substance reacts rapidly with oxygen, releasing heat energy.
It involves burning organic compounds such as Alkanes.
reaction of Butane with Oxygen:

2C4H10(g) + 13O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(g)


2. Addition- this occurs when two reactants add together to
form a single new product with no atoms “left-over”.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon- is a type of hydrocarbon which
has at least one double bond, triple bond, or ring in its
carbon chain.
Saturated hydrocarbon- hydrocarbons that contain only
single bonds between carbon atoms.

Unsaturated Addition Saturated


hydrocarbon reaction hydrocarbon
reaction of ethene with HCl:

Ethene Hydrogen Chloride Chloroethane


3. Elimination
