Q

Positional isomers

A

Compounds that differ by the position of their functional group or groups but have same molecular formula

17
Q

Functional group isomers

A

Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different functional groups

18
Q

Carbon bonding

A

when carbon forms bonds with other atoms, one of the 2s electrons is promoted to the 3rd 2p orbital

this leaves carbon with 4 unbonded electrons so can form four sigma bonds

19
Q

C-H bonds

A

in CH4 the bond angle is 109.5
Carbon is more electronegative so the bond is slightly polar

20
Q

Asymmetrical organic molecules

A

haloalkanes
alcohols
therefore they are polar and electrons move in a sigma bond(inductive effect)

21
Q

aliphatic

A

compound containing carbon and hydrogen in straight chains, branched chains or non-aromatic rings

22
Q

aromatic

A

a compound containing a benzene ring
