Objectives: Organic Chemistry (Chapter 20)
1. Define and describe the terms tetrahedron, hydrocarbon, covalent bond, straight chain,
branched chain, saturated hydrocarbon, and an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
2. Define organic chemistry and list 5 examples of everyday applications.
3. Classify hydrocarbons as alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
4. Name alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes of carbons 1-10.
5. Draw structural isomers of alkanes.
6. Draw electron dot, structural formulas, condensed formulas, and molecular formulas of
alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
7. Compare the boiling points of alkanes and their branched isomers.
