Organic Chemistry-Functional Groups

  1. Hydrocarbon (alkane)
    • Organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.
    • i.e., methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane
  2. Alkyl Halids
    • Derived from hydrocarbons containing one or more halogens.
    • i.e., CH3Cl methylchloride
  3. Alcohol
    • Hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to a carbon atom.
    • i.e., CH3OH (methanol), CH3CH2OH (ethenol), CH3CH2CH2OH (proponal)
  4. Carbonyl Group
