chapter 10 Flashcards
what is the bond angle of an alcohol
109.5
what kind of hybridization is found on an alcohol
sp3
where are the unshared pairs of electrons found in alchols
they are found in sp3 orbitals
if there are 2 oh groups on one molecule what is it called
diol
what does glycol mean
it means that there are oh’s that are attatched to adjasent carbons
what does unsaturated alcohol mean
in means that there is a carbon carbon double bond with an oh attatched
are alcohols polar
yes
do alcohols have high or low boiling points
they have boiling points due to hydrogen bonding
if something has more oh groups what does that mean in terms of boiling point
if something has more oh groups it has a higher boiling point
of something is a longer molecule what does that mean in terms of boiling point
a longer molecule means higher boiling point
why are alkenes so soluble in water
because of hydrogen bonding
if an alchol has a higher molecular weight compareed to another alcohol which one will be more soluble
less weight = more soluble
when an alcohol reacts with li na or k what is formed
a metal oxide
in terms of hcl , hbr and hi what kind of carbocation is preferred
a 3
3 alcohol + hbr = sn1 or sn2
SN1 reaction
