Page 2: Functional Groups and Nomenclature

This page expands on the functional groups, providing more details on their structures and naming conventions.

The table includes formulas for the characteristic groups, nomenclature rules, and examples for each family. It covers alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, amides, carboxylic acids, esters, and haloalkanes.

Definition: Nomenclature - The system of names used in organic chemistry to identify compounds based on their structure.

Example: For ketones, the characteristic group is R-C(=O)-R', the naming convention uses the suffix "-one", and an example is 3-methylbutan-2-one.

Highlight: The page emphasizes the importance of understanding functional groups for correctly naming organic compounds.

Page 5: Introduction to Organic Nomenclature

This page introduces the concept of nomenclature in organic chemistry and its importance.

The text explains that organic chemistry deals with long and often complex molecules, for which naming or constructing from a name might seem complicated. However, it emphasizes that a few rules allow for quickly establishing the link between names and molecules.

Quote: "Nomenclature in organic chemistry creates a systematic way to name complex organic compounds and understand their structures."

Highlight: This introduction sets the stage for understanding the importance of systematic naming conventions in organic chemistry, preparing students for more detailed rules and examples.
