_____12. I can define organic compound, saturated hydrocarbon, unsaturated hydrocarbon, and isomer. / Definitions:
organic compound– all carbonate containing compounds except CO, CO2, and carbonates
saturated hydrocarbon – a compound containing only C and H in which each carbon atom has 4 single bonds
unsaturated hydrocarbon - a compound containing only C and H in which there is at least one double bond (possibly triple) between C atoms
isomer –two organic compounds that have the same molecular formula, but different structural formula and therefore different physical and chemical properties
_____13. I can expand a condensed structural formula to show the structural formula of an organic compound. / Draw the complete structural formula for CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3.
(Sorry. This will take WAAY too long on the computer.)
Draw the complete structural formula for CH3CHCHCH3.

_____27. I can use F-SCAPES to list and describe the 7 types of organic reactions. / F stands for____fermentation______. This type of organic
reaction results from a reaction of __a sugar______to form
____carbon dioxide______and ______ethanol______. It typically requires a catalyst, in the form of an enzyme to occur.
S stands for ____substitution______. This type of organic
reaction happens when ___saturated______hydrocarbons
replace one of the ___hydrogens______for some other element (often a halide).
C stands for ______combustion______. In this type of organic
reaction a ______hydrocarbon______reacts with
___oxygen______to form ___carbon dioxide______and
______water______. It is an exothermic reaction.
A stands for ______addition______. In this type of organic reaction
an ______unsaturated hydrocarbon______becomes a
______saturated______when the double bond breaks and two atoms of another element (often a halide) are added.
