1st SEMESTER - 3 Flashcards
Elements usually involved in organic compounds.
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosporus
Define functional groups
The group of atoms that give characteristic to an organic compound and is the reactive site of a molecule where chemical reactions occur.
Substances in the concept of ionization. Define each.
Electrolytes - dissociates into ions and a conductor of electrons.
Non-Electrolytes - dissociates into molecules and does not conduct electricity.
Bronsted-Lowry Base
A bronsted-lowry base is proton (H+) acceptor.
Carboxylic acid functional goup
Carbon double bonded to an oxygen and single bonded to an alcohol
Lewis acid
A lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor.
The property of H2O (water) which makes it possible to react with both acids as well as bases.
Amphoteric Substance
Limitation of Arrhenius Theory
Only applicable to aqueous solutions.
Father of Ionization
Svante Arrhenius
Ether functional group
Oxygen bonded to two carbons
Thiol functional group
Bonded sulfur and hydrogen
Differentiate Arrhenius Acid and Base
An Arrhenius acid is increases the Hydrogen Ions (H+) concentration when dissolved in water. While Arrhenius base increases the Hydroxide Ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.
Amine functional group
NH2
Bronsted-Lowry Acid
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton (H+) donor.
Lewis Base
A lewis base is an electron pair donor.
