Organic chemistry: hydrocarbons, functional groups and polymers
Main lesson
Alkenes: one double bond
Use this for an alkene’s formula and name: a chain with one carbon–carbon double bond, CₙH₂ₙ.
Alkynes: one triple bond
Use this for an alkyne’s formula and name: a chain with one carbon–carbon triple bond, CₙH₂ₙ₋₂.
Isomers: a branched alkane
Use this for “Draw an isomer of pentane” or “How many hydrogens does 2-methylbutane have?”
Functional groups
Use this for “Which functional group does ethyl acetate have?”
Addition or condensation polymer?
Use this for “Is nylon an addition polymer or a condensation polymer?”
