What is organic chemistry?
Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
---|---|
Organic compound | An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. |

Alcohols | Alcohols (R-OH) take the suffix "-ol" with an infix numerical bonding position: CH3CH2CH2OH is propan-1-ol. The suffixes -diol, -triol, -tetraol, etc., are used for multiple -OH groups: Ethylene glycol CH2OHCH2OH is ethane-1,2-diol. |

ketones | In general ketones (R-CO-R) take the suffix "-one" with an infix position number: CH3CH2CH2COCH3 is pentan-2-one. If a higher precedence suffix is in use, the prefix "oxo-" is used: CH3CH2CH2COCH2CHO is 3-oxohexanal. |
A simple example of a 3D Structural Formula is that for methane, whose molecular formula is CH4.
A common use of this type of representation of molecular structures is to explain isomerism and optical isomerism in particular.
