Elements in Organic Compounds
2
In organic molecules, carbon atoms bond
with four bonds
mostly with H and other C atoms
sometimes to O, N, S
sometimes to halogens F, Cl, and Br

Functional Groups
4
Functional groups are
a characteristic feature of organic molecules that behave
in a predictable way
composed of an atom or group of atoms
groups that replace a hydrogen atom in the
corresponding alkane
a way to classify families of organic compounds

Alkenes, Alkynes, and Aromatic
Compounds
5
Alkenes contain a double bond between adjacent carbon atoms.
Alkynes contain a triple bond.
Aromatic compounds contain a ring of six carbon atoms
called benzene.

Alcohols, Thiols, and Ethers
9
An alcohol contains the hydroxyl (OH)
functional group.
A thiol contains the thiol (SH) functional
group.
An ether contains an oxygen atom bonded
to two carbon atoms
(COC) functional group.

Aldehydes and Ketones
10
An aldehyde contains a carbonyl
group (C=O), which is a carbon atom
with a double bond to an oxygen atom. O
The carbonyl carbon is attached to a
hydrogen. C
H
In a ketone, the carbon
of the carbonyl group (C=O) is O
attached to two carbon atoms.

11
Carboxylic acids contain the
carboxyl group, which is a
carbonyl group attached O
to a hydroxyl group.

three hydrogen atoms are
replaced withH carbons CH3 CH3
