-nuclei above the belt of stability undergo beta emission
(an electron is lost- the number of neutrons decreases, the number of protons increases)
-nuclei below the belt of stability undergo electron capture or positron emission

C10H22 decane
groups use prefixes
2=di, 3=tri, 4=tetra, 5=penta
5. if 2 or more different groups,
put them into the prefix in abc
order

*naming alkenes and alkynes


1. ene = double bond, -yne = triple bond
2. when a chain has 4 or more carbons, the chain is numbered for the position of the multiple bond
3. the longest chain must include the multiple bond
4. compounds with 2 or more double bonds are given suffixes diene, -triene, etc.

ethene

ethyne

-homologous series- set of related organic compounds that differ from each other by the number
of CH2 in their molecular structure
-methylene group (CH2)- a structural unit that can make 2 bonds
-methyl group (CH3)- a structural unit that can make only 1 bond
-common alkyl side groups

-if you have complex substituents put the substituent name in parentheses using numbering as if it
was alone and add yl to the end
-cycloalkanes- tetrahedral shape (because carbon atoms in alkanes are tetrahedral)
-unsaturated hydrocarbons- C-C double and triple bonds are possible (ex: alkenes and alkynes)
-hydrogenation- the reaction of an unsaturated hydrocarbon with hydrogen

isomers
-structural- same atoms, different connectivity, not the same resonance structures
-geometric- atoms in different positions, same connectivity
-cis isomer (Z isomer)- has 2 like groups on the same side of a line drawn through double bond
-trans isomer (E isomer)- has 2 like groups on opposite sides of a line drawn through double
bond
-E= entgegan (trans)
-Z= zusamen (cis)

-chiral- an object cannot be superimposed on its mirror image


-chiral center- occurs when 4 different groups bond to carbon (marked with a *)
-enantiomers- nonsuperimposable mirror images

functional groups
-single bond = ethers and alcohols
-double bond = carbonyl compounds
-ethers- R-O-R (1 oxygen between 2 of the same elements) ethers are polar
-alcohols- contain an OH group (named by replacing last e with ol)
-example: methane becomes methanol

ether formula:

R-O-R

alcohol formula:

R-OH

-polar and form hydrogen bonds


-short chain alcohols are water soluble
-have high boiling point
-more OH groups means a higher boiling point
-classification: *(R = any element, R = any element that isnt the same as R)
-primary (1 R bonded to C-OH) (oxidize to aldehydes, then acids)
-secondary (R and R bonded to C-OH) (oxidize to ketones)
-tertiary (R and R and R all bonded to C-OH)

-methanol- CO(g) + 2H2(g) (300oC catalyst)--> CH3OH(g)


-very toxic (can blind someone)
-used to make formaldehyde, jet fuel, gasoline mixtures
-very corrosive
-ethanol- alcohol in beverages
-fermentation of carbohydrates (using yeast) C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
-stops when alcohol is about 15%
-less toxic compared to methanol
-less corrosive then methanol
-compounds containing OH
-estrone and estradiol (female hormones), testosterone (male hormone), cholesterol
-carbonyl groups- C=O
-aldehyde- C=O plus single bonded R and H
-ketone- C=O plus R and R
-carboxylic acid- C=O plus R and OH
-COOH functional group which reacts with a base to form salts
-they are polar and form H-bonds with each other
-have high boiling points
-ex: formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid,
malic acid, tartaric acid
-ester- C=O plus R and OR
-acid + alcohol
-food flavoring agents
-amide- C=O plus R and NH2
-have resonance structures
-ex: kevlar- used for bullet proof vests
*R = any element, R = any element that isnt R

-amines- organic bases


-primary- RNH2
-secondary- R2NH
-tertiary- R3N

primary:

R-NH2

secondary:

R-NHR

tertiary:

R-NR2

polymers- large molecules formed by linking a series of monomers


-polymers are also called macromolecules
-they are classified by the way they respond to heat:
-thermoplastics- soften and flow, then harden on cooling
-thermosetting plastics- initially will soften, but then will form a rigid structure
that wont melt

-addition polymers- monomers add to each other


1. initiation- a peroxide (R-O-O-R) breaks into 2 RO and attacks a monomer
2. propagation- polymer growth
3. termination- 2 radicals combine

-polythylene- the most widely used polymer


-high density polyethylene (HDPE)- linear chains, high density, high molar mass, hard,
used in plastic milk jugs
-low density polyethylene (LDPE)- branched chains, soft, used in making sandwich bags
-cross-linked polyethylene (CLPE)- short CH2 groups form chains, very tough (soda
bottle caps)
-substituted ethylene can be used

how to identify the monomer needed for a polymer


1. draw the polymer
2. identify the repeating unit
3. analyze the monomer-monomer link
4. identify the type of polymer
5. draw the monomer and add chemical groups/bonds to: make a stable molecule and add
back the functional groups lost during the formation of the polymer

other types of polymers


-copolymers- made from mixed monomers
-styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is used to make tires
-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)- used to make car bumpers
-condensation polymers- release a small molecule, often water
-polyesters- form between molecules with 2 acid groups and 2 alcohol groups

hydrogen bonding
-H bonds between chains force the polymer into a chain of fibers

biopolymers
-proteins- chain of amino acids
-amino acids undergo condensation reactions and lose water molecules
-amide link = peptide link
-small amino acid polymers (less than 50) = polypeptides
-amino acids classified by R substituents
-in red blood cells the protein carries oxygen
-the white blood cells create antibodies (special proteins) to neutralize toxic
substances in the blood (they also create hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria)
-proteins can repair DNA
-drugs bind to proteins
-polysaccharides- cellulose & starch
-hydrolysis- requires water and an acid

protein structures
-primary- the sequence of amino acids in a chain (determined by DNA sequence)
-secondary- describes the patterns caused by hydrogen bonding such as:
-alpha-helix (H-bonds between N-H and C=O hold helix coils in shape)
-beta-pleated sheet (H-bonds between long segments hold it together)
-tertiary- overall shape of the protein (maintained by side-chain interactions and disulfide
bonds (S-S)

carbohydrates
-sugar- monomer linkage is alcohol
-starch- humans can digest
-cellulose- humans cant digest
-glycogen

saccharides
-polysaccharides
-starch- when heated amylose (links dont alternate) & amylopectin are released
-cellulose- straight chain polymer made up of glucose
-links alternate (every other glucose is turned over in diagram)
