CHEM 1C Chapter 21 Review Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Main Idea

What is the Big Idea of Chapter 21?
Hydroc­arbons are molecules composed of only carbon and hydrogen and are unreactive until they get a functional groups. These functional groups can partic­ipate in multiple types of reactions. Because of these reactions, materials can be synthe­sized both naturally and indust­rially.

Hydroc­arbons

Alkanes
saturated molecule made from only carbon and hydrogen
Alkenes
unsatured double bonded molecule with hydrogen and carbon
Alkynes
unsatu­rated triple bond molecule with hydrogen and carbon
Aromatics
a ring structure that has benzene as its base

Functional Groups

What are alcoho­ls(­pri­mar­y,s­eco­nda­ry,­ter­tiary)
R-OH
What are carboxylic acids?
R-COOH
What are ketones
R-CO-R
What are aldehydes?
R-CHO
What are esters?
R-COO-R
What are ethers?
R-O-R

Types of Rxn

Types of Reactions
Descri­ption
Hydrog­enation Rxn
The double bond is broken and hydrogen is added to the backbo­ne.N­OT­E:This is not limited to only H2
Haloge­ntation
The double bond is broken and a halogen is added to the carbon backbone
Substi­tution
Alkanes undergo a reaction where halogens replace hydrogen atoms
Dehydr­oge­nation
Hydrogen atoms are removed in order to produce a unsatu­rated hydroc­arbon
Esteri­fic­ation
A carboxylic acid combines with an alcohol to form an ester
 

Synthetic Polymers

Addition Polymers
Polymers formed by adding monoers together by breaking a double bond.C­har­act­erized by not missing any atoms
Conden­sation Polymers
Polymers formed by adding monomers together by emitting a small molecule usually water.C­ha­rac­terized by double bonds

Natural Polymers

PROTEIN
CARBOH­YDRATES
DNA
monomer is amino acid
monomer is glucose
monomer is nuclot­ide(5 ring sugar,­pho­sophate backbone, and nitrogen organic base)
Three struct­ure­s:p­rim­ary­,te­rti­ary,and secondary
formed by conden­sation rxn.
OH group on sugar=­>RNA
Formed by conden­sation rxn.
Carbon backbone
H group on sugar=­>DNA
Transc­ription and Transl­ation make proteins
Glycoside linkage holds two sugars togeth­er(­C-O-C)
phosophate backbone
Peptide bond holds amino acids together

Organic Reactions

Oxidation reactions for organic compounds occur when electr­one­gative atoms are added or hydrogen is removed
reduction reactions for organic compounds occur when electr­one­gative atoms are removed or hydrogen is added
