Atomic # = # of p+ and # of eCarbon has 6 p+ and 6 e-
Atomic Mass minus Atomic # = # of n0 Carbon has 6 n0
Chemical Formula: C6H6 Chemical Formula: C4H10
Structural Formula:
Indicates the type of bonds and which is the order the atoms are linked inside the molecule
Protons p+ - positive charge, in nucleus Neutrons n0 – no charge, in nucleus
Electrons - e- negative charge, orbiting nucleus
Drawing an Atom of Carbon:
In organic chemistry, functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules

Molecules
Mol
Is the basic unit in the International System of Units, and it allows measure the substance´s quantity
Molar Mass: [g/mol]
If it´s referred to atom, it represents the mass of a mol, expressed in grams
K = Potassium
N = Nitrogen
I = Iodine
S = Sulfur
Cl = Chlorine
P = Phosphorus
Atom: the smallest particle making up elements
Sub-atomic Particles: particles making up atoms
Stoichiometry is the Quantitative study of reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction
Limiting reactant
+ +
+
The reactant that is used totally in a chemical reaction is called: Limiting reactant
Cation A cation is a ion with positive electric charge. This means with a “default”
of electrons
Salts are mainly constituted by anions and cations
Chemical equations- Reactions
Examples of Organic Compounds
(according to the arragement of their atoms)
C, H + O
Carbohydrates = Sugars, starches & cellulose
Lipids = Fats & Oils
Examples of Organic Compounds
(according to the arragement of their atoms)
C, H, O, N, & sometimes P + S
Proteins
C, H, O, N, + P
Nucleic Acids – DNA & RNA
Molecules
molecules are formed for specific combinations of atoms. NEUTRAL charge
If it´s referred to molecules, Molar mass is the sum of the molar mass of all the atoms that constitute the molecule
