CARBON CHEMISTRY

Question 1

HYDROCARBONS

Answer 1

• SIMPLEST CARBON COMPOUNDS

Question 2

CYCLO

Answer 2

• PREFIX

- THE TERMINAL CARBONS OF A CHAIN JOIN TO FORM A RING COMPOUND

Question 3

TETRAHEDRON

Answer 3

• TRAINGULAR PYRAMID
• POLYHEDRON COMPOSED OF 4 TRIANGULAR FACES, 6 STRAIGHT EDGES AND 4 VORTEX CORNERS
• SIMPLEST OF ALL THE ORDINARY CONVEX POLYHEDRA AND THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS FEWER THAN 5 FACES

Question 4

CYCLOHEXANE

Answer 4

• CYCLOALKANE WITH THE MOLECULAR FORMULA C6H12
• NON POLAR
• COLORLESS, FLAMMABLE LIQUID WITH A DISTINCTIVE DETERGENT LIKE ODOR, REMINISCENT OF CLEANING PRODUCTS

Question 5

FUNCTIONAL GROUPS

Answer 5

• RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND IDENTITY OF THE MOLECULE
• WHEN A FUNCTIONAL GROUP IS ADDED TO A HYDROCARBON, THE NUMBER OF HYDROCARBONS IS STILL USED TO NAME THE MOLECULE
• SERVE TO IDENTIFY, CHANGE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MOLECULES

Question 6

MONOMERS

Answer 6

• BASIC BUILDING BLOCK MOLECULES

- MOLECULE THAT CAN BE BONDED TO OTHER IDENTICAL MOLECULES TO FORM A POLYMER

Question 7

PEPTIDE BOND

Answer 7

• AMINO ACIDS LINKED TOGETHER THROUGH THE AMINE AND CARBOXYLIC ACID FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
