Summary of Properties (Polarity)
**This is not usually tested on but I still recommend going over this for understanding ��.
In order of decreasing polarity:
Amide > Carboxylic Acid > Alcohol > Ketone ~ Aldehyde > Amine > Ester > Ether > Alkane
- Which is more likely to dissolve in water? A carboxylic acid or ether? ________
- Which is more non-polar? A ketone or an alkane? ________
Organic Chemistry (Part 1: Functional Groups and Naming) Summary Checklist
After going through this chapter you should be familiar with each of the concepts below!
- Drawing structural/molecular formulas (complete and condensed) for organic compounds
- Writing molecular formulas (full and expanded for organic compounds)
- Naming hydrocarbons (aliphatic and aromatic)
- Identifying and naming isomers (constitutional and stereoisomers) for organic compounds
- Providing IUPAC names, drawing structures, identifying/naming functional groups for compounds for all organic families discussed (ex. alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, etc).
