Organic Chemistry The study of Carbon and its compounds.
Naming Hydrocarbons (nomenclature) Basic Naming of Hydrocarbons Hydrocarbon names are based on: 1)Type, 2)# of carbons, 3)side chain type and position.
Alkanes Saturated hydrocarbons. Structure of alkanes Contain only C & H Single bonds only – all carbons are sp 3 and tetrahedral All bond angles close.
AKA Organic Chemistry Just the Basics! The chemistry of carbon is important. Carbon atoms can bond to one another in chains, rings, and branching networks.
