Families of Organic Compounds Organic compounds can be grouped into families by their common structural features The common structural feature that makes it possible to classify compounds by reactivity are called functional groups Functional group-collection of atoms at a site within a molecule with a common bonding pattern The group reacts in a typical way,generally independent of the rest of the molecule For example,the double bonds in simple and complex alkenes react with bromine in the same way

Types of Functional Groups:Multiple Carbon-Carbon Bonds ■Alkenes have a C-C double bond ■Alkynes have a C-C triple bond ■Arenes have special bonds that are 一C三C represented as alternating single and Alkene Alkyne Arene (aromatic ring) double C-C bonds in a six-membered ring Because of their structural similarities,these compounds also have chemical similarities

Alkanes and Alkane Isomers Alkanes:Compounds with C-C single bonds and C-H bonds only(no functional groups) ■ Connecting carbons can lead to large or small molecules The formula for an alkane with no rings in it must be C H2n+2 where the number of C's is n ■ Alkanes are saturated with hydrogen(no more can be added They are also called aliphatic compounds HH HHH HHHH H一C-H H-C-C-H H-C-C-C-H H-C-C-C-C-H ...and so on H HH HHH H丑HH Methaneosca Ethane Propane Butane

Constitutional Isomers ■ Isomers that differ in how their atoms are arranged in chains are called constitutional isomers ■ Compounds other than alkanes can be constitutional isomers of one another They must have the same molecular formula to be isomers Different carbon CH3 skeletons C,H10 CH CHCH and CH CH2CH2CHa 2-Methylpropane Butane (Isobutane) Different functional CHCH,OH and CHOCH3 groups C.HO Ethyl alcohol Dimethyl ether Different position of NH2 functional groups C.HoN CH CHCH3 and CH:CH2CH2NH2 Isopropylamine Propvlamine Thomson-Brooks Cole
