All organic chemicals are covalent molecules based on the
element carbon. They react similarly because they contain
the alcohol group. Functional groups are diverse and we
will discuss them later. By the end of this explanation,
you should understand the meaning of functional groups
and homologous series. If organic molecules belong to a
homologous series, they share the same functional group.
However, each successive member has an additional CH2.
Therefore, each member has an extra CH2 and CH3. The
functional group remains the same for each molecule,
which is the alcohol group. The alcohol functional group
only differs in the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Ethanol has one extra carbon atom and two extra
hydrogen atoms compared to methanol. When compared
to ethanol, propane-1-ol only has an extra carbon atom.
Next, we will look at how to name organic compounds.
This series of chloroalkanes contains examples of
chloromethane, chloroethane, and chloroproethane, where
the functional groups are chlorine atoms. Each member of
the series differs by an additional CH2 and CH3.
This lecture will be a quick crash course on all organic
chemistry reactions. We'll start by discussing the cracking of
long-chain hydrocarbons. These molecules are obtained from
crude oil and are large, making them less flammable. To
make them more flammable, we break them down into
smaller molecules. Free-radical substitution of alkanes and/or
alkyl chains is possible in alkanes and any carbon chain can
undergo free-radical submission. The reaction is usually done
with chlorine or bromine and a byproduct, HCl, is formed.
This reaction is also used as a test to identify unsaturated
compounds, as all alkenes can be identified by the reaction
with bromine. Furthermore, this reaction removes any double
bonds in unsaturated hydrocarbons, making them saturated.
The Marconi rule for Electrophilic Addition is a valuable
concept when dealing with unsymmetrical alkenes. This
