I am on the football team which includes a fine crew of athletes. My family includes my mother Rennae, my dad Ed, brother Mike, and sister Katie, and dog Max. I also have a wonderful girlfriend named Stephanie. In this page I hope to enlighten the reader in the area of Organic chemistry. This page is based on Gillespie's chapters 8 and 14.
Organic chemistry is the study of all carbon compounds found on the planet.
A carbon-carbon bond is the second strongest bond there is. Alkanes are a group of hydrocarbons that contain single bonds between the carbon atoms. Nomenclature Nomenclature is the process of naming organic compounds. In naming a compound it is important to look first at the length of the carbon chain. The prefixes dictate the number of carbon atoms the compound will contain.
