Organic Chemistry

Review Packet

Objectives:

• How to write formulas, names, and structures for organic compounds including alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, cyclic compounds including compounds and compounds of functional groups
• How to draw and name isomers of alkanes and alkenes

Chapters 2, 24

Equations and Constants (on yellow sheet)

None

Notes

AP Tip:

You should know how to name compounds containing functional groups, draw their structures. On the AP Exam organic chemistry is often included in other types of problems such as thermochemistry and stoichiometry of combustion reactions.
