Unit 10All organic compounds contain the element carbon Exist in nature in many forms not all carbon compounds are organic four valence electrons make four single bonds A carbon atom must make 4 covalent bonds to become stable Halocarbons: Nonpoplar molecules/ Insoluble in water (water polar)/ Non-electrolytes (electrolytes dissolve)/ low melting & boiling compared to metals/ Undergo combustion reaction to release energy Prefixes on table P IUPAC: Determine # of carbons in the longest parent chain or carbon backbone Single bonds: ane/ saturated Double bonds: ene/ unsaturated Triple bonds: yne/ unsaturated Isomers: Same formula but structurally different Halocarbon/ Halide Covalently bonded: FL, Cl, Br, I Uses: Refrigerants, anesthetic, and dissolving agents endings: o Alcohol
