ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
ACYCLIC/ OPEN CHAIN
COMPOUNDS
CYCLIC/ CLOSED
CHAIN COMPOUNDS
HOMOCYCLIC COMPOUNDS HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS
ALICYCLIC
COMPOUNDS
AROMATIC
COMPOUNDS
HETEROALICYCLIC
COMPOUNDS
HETEROAROMATIC
COMPOUNDS
ALIPHATIC/ OPEN CHAIN/ ACYCLIC COMPOUNDS
(Having no cyclic structure or ring)
SATURATED
(Further addition is not possible. Eg:- Alkane)
UNSATURATED
(Further addition is possible. Eg:- ALKENE, ALKYNE)
STRAIGHT CHAIN BRANCHED CHAIN
Eg:-
Propene
But-2-ene
n-pentane
2-methyl-3-ethylpentane
Eg:- Eg:-
Two types:- A . H o m o c y c l i c a n d B . H e te ro c y c l i c
A. HOMOCYCLIC COMPOUNDS:- Made up of only hydrocarbon. It is of two types:-
a) ALICYCLIC COMPOUNDS:- Compounds that are both aliphatic and cyclic.
Eg:-
b) AROMATIC COMPOUNDS:- Compounds that are cyclic unsaturated compounds.
Eg:-
B. HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS:- Presence of one or more heteroatoms. It is of two types:-
a) HETEROALICYCLIC COMPOUNDS:- Aliphatic heterocyclic compounds that contains one or more heteroatoms.
Eg:-
b) HETEROAROMATIC COMPOUNDS:- Aromatic heterocyclic compounds that contains one or more
heteroatoms. Eg:-
FUNCTIONAL GROUP:- A functional group is an atom or group of atoms in a molecule that gives
the molecule its characteristic chemical properties.
We classified organic compounds based on the bonding patterns in their
structures and the functional group present in them. These patterns and groups
are important because structure determines function. They determines what
properties a compound will have and the types of chemical reactions in which it
can participate.
