Organic Chemistry (IB)

Series of organic compounds with the same functional group but differing by a CH2 unit

Organic compounds with a C=C double bond, named by locating the double bond and giving it the lowest number

Reaction mechanism where a nucleophile replaces a leaving group in a molecule

In electrophilic addition, the more electronegative atom ends up on the carbon with fewer hydrogens

Technique that measures the absorption of infrared radiation by bonds in a molecule

Analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to determine molecular mass

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technique that provides information about the number and environment of hydrogen atoms in a molecule

study of carbon-containing compounds

organic compounds that consist only of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms

organic compound that contains at least one carbon—carbon triple bond

Organic compound with a hydroxyl (OH) functional group

organic compound that contains an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl groups

organic compound in that the carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom at the end of a carbon chain

organic compound that contains a carbonyl group in which the carbon atom is covalently bonded to an oxygen atom

organic compound that contains a carboxyl functional group

Organic compounds that contains an acid in which at least one hydroxyl group is replaced by an alkyl (alkoxy) group

Same structural formula but atoms are arranged differently in space
