Carbon & Organic Chemistry

Question 1

Allotropic forms of Carbon

Answer 1

Diamond, graphite, amorphous, fullerenes

Question 2

Fullerenes

Answer 2

Structure: Near-spherical cages of C atoms resembling geodesic domes
Found in soot that forms when C-containing materials are burned with limited oxygen

Question 3

Diamond

Answer 3

Close-packed crystal structure, property of extreme hardness

Each C is bonded to 4 other C’s in a tetrahedron arrangement

Question 4

Graphite

Answer 4

Made up of planes of hexagonal structures that are weakly bonded to the planes above & below

Answer 6

Has a double bond between adjacent carbon atoms

Question 7

Saturated (Organic Chemistry)

Answer 7

All members of alkane series have single covalent bonds

Question 8

Unsaturated (Organic Chemistry)

Answer 8

Hydrocarbon molecule that contains double or triple covalent bonds

Question 9

Alkyne Series (Unsaturated)

Answer 9

Has a triple covalent bond between 2 adjacent carbons

Question 10

Aromatics

Answer 10

Unsaturated ring structures

Ex; Benzene

Question 11

Isomers

Answer 11

Have the same formula but different structures

Question 12

Isomeric Alcohols

Answer 12

Similar formulas but different properties because of their differences in structure

Question 13

Ketones

Answer 13

Slightly oxidized secondary alcohol

Contain carbonyl group interior of the chain

Question 14

Ethers

Answer 14

Formed when a primary alcohol is dehydrated with sulfuric acid

Question 15

Amine

Answer 15

When an amide ion replaces a hydrogen in a hydrocarbon compound

Question 16

Amino Acids

Answer 16

Organic acids that contain one or more amino (NH2-) groups that have replaced the same number of hydrogen atoms in an organic acid
One of building blocks of proteins

Question 17

Ester

Answer 17

An organic salt formed by the reaction of an alcohol & an acid
