Page 3: Detailed Functional Group Overview
This page provides a comprehensive overview of organic functional groups, their structures, and naming conventions.
The table includes alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, and amides. For each group, it shows the characteristic functional group, generic formula and name, and specific examples with both semi-developed and topological formulas.
Vocabulary: Topological formula - A representation of organic molecules showing the arrangement of atoms without explicitly drawing all bonds and carbon atoms.
Example: For amines, the table shows primary R−NH2, secondary RR′NH, and tertiary RR′R′′N structures, with naming examples like butan-2-amine and N-ethyl-N-methyl-propan-1-amine.
Highlight: This detailed overview helps students understand the relationship between molecular structure and nomenclature across various organic compound families.
