Page 2: Structural Formulas and Nomenclature
This page delves deeper into the structural formulas and nomenclature of various organic compounds. It presents several examples of ketones, alcohols, and aldehydes, along with their systematic names. The structures range from simple chain compounds to more complex cyclic and halogenated molecules.
Example: Hexan-3-one (CH3-CH2-CH2-C(O)-CH2-CH3) is presented as an example of a C6H12O keton.
Vocabulary: Systematic nomenclature is used to name compounds like 2-methylpentan-3-ol and 3-methylpentanal.
Definition: Halogenated compounds are organic substances that contain one or more halogen atoms, as shown in the examples of chlorinated and brominated compounds.
