  2. Saturated and unsaturated compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_and_unsaturated...

    alkyne (unsaturated) vs alkane (saturated) arene (unsaturated) vs cycloalkane (saturated) For organic compounds containing heteroatoms (other than C and H), the list of unsaturated groups is long but some common types are: carbonyl, e.g. ketones, aldehydes, esters, carboxylic acids (unsaturated) vs alcohol or ether (saturated) nitrile ...

  3. Saturate, aromatic, resin and asphaltene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturate,_Aromatic,_Resin...

    The saturate fraction consists of nonpolar material including linear, branched, and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons . Aromatics, which contain one or more aromatic rings, are slightly more polarizable. The remaining two fractions, resins and asphaltenes, have polar substituents. The distinction between the two is that asphaltenes are insoluble in ...

  4. Bromine test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine_test

    In organic chemistry, the bromine test is a qualitative test for the presence of unsaturation (carbon-to-carbon double or triple bonds), phenols and anilines. An unknown sample is treated with a small amount of elemental bromine in an organic solvent, being as dichloromethane or carbon tetrachloride. Presence of unsaturation and/or phenol or ...

  5. α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α,β-Unsaturated_carbonyl...

    α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds are organic compounds with the general structure (O=CR)−C α =C β −R. [1] [2] Such compounds include enones and enals, but also carboxylic acids and the corresponding esters and amides. In these compounds, the carbonyl group is conjugated with an alkene (hence the adjective unsaturated). Unlike the case ...

  6. Organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry

    Synthetic organic chemistry is an applied science as it borders engineering, the "design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes". [28] Organic synthesis of a novel compound is a problem-solving task, where a synthesis is designed for a target molecule by selecting optimal reactions from optimal starting materials.

  7. Tollens' reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollens'_reagent

    Tollens' test for aldehyde: left side positive (silver mirror), right side negative Ball-and-stick model of the diamminesilver(I) complex. Tollens' reagent (chemical formula ()) is a chemical reagent used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones along with some alpha-hydroxy ketones which can tautomerize into aldehydes.

  8. Degree of unsaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_unsaturation

    For hydrocarbons, the DBE (or IHD) tells us the number of rings and/or extra bonds in a non-saturated structure, which equals the number of hydrogen pairs that are required to make the structure saturated, simply because joining two elements to form a ring or adding one extra bond (e.g., a single bond changed to a double bond) in a structure reduces the need for two H's.

  9. Qualitative inorganic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualitative_inorganic_analysis

    Classical qualitative inorganic analysis is a method of analytical chemistry which seeks to find the elemental composition of inorganic compounds.It is mainly focused on detecting ions in an aqueous solution, therefore materials in other forms may need to be brought to this state before using standard methods.
