Overview

Organic Chemistry II focuses on the study of hydrocarbons (compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen) and important organic compounds with functional groups. This chapter covers alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, and carboxylic acids - fundamental organic compounds that form the building block

Key Concepts

Alkanes are hydrocarbons with only single

Alkanes are hydrocarbons with only single bonds between carbon atoms, having the general formula CnH2n+2. They are also called paraffins due to their

Alkenes contain one or more C=C

Alkenes contain one or more C=C double bonds with general formula CnH2n. Ethene (C2H4) is the simplest alkene. They undergo addition reactions due to

Alkynes contain one or more C≡C

Alkynes contain one or more C≡C triple bonds with general formula CnH2n-2. Ethyne (C2H2) or acetylene is the simplest alkyne. They undergo addition re

Alcohols contain the hydroxyl (

Alcohols contain the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to carbon atoms. Monohydric alcohols have the general formula CnH2n+1OH. Ethanol (C2H5OH

Carboxylic acids contain the carboxyl (

Carboxylic acids contain the carboxyl (-COOH) functional group. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is the most common example, found in vinegar. They are weak acid
