Chem test 1-3 Flashcards
nonpolar with low boiling point
Alkanes, Alkenes, alkyne Cycloalkanes, cycloalkene and Cycloalkyne
carbonyl group (C=O) make the compound
polar
IUPAC name for ethers (u pac the oxy in ether)
use oxy on the end - methoxy
common name for ether ends in…
ether
when naming ethers (ether one side or the other)..
name the substituents on both sides in alphabetical order - don’t forget to number the smaller substituent where it attaches to the larger one
handedness
mirror image of your hand cannot be superimposed on each other - your thumbs would be on opposite sides
chiral
when an object has handedness - it can’t be superimposed
achiral (a chiral chair)
the chair in the mirror - it’s the same both ways
configurations (configure my stereo)
stereoisomers (cis and trans) can’t be rotated to match each other
anisole (ana at ocha)
benzene with OCH attached
IUPAC name for alcohols will end in
ol
constitutional isomers (same constitution, but different states in US)
same formula, different order of bonds
Alkylhalides functional group (FIB C)
carbon halogen bond - fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine
xylene - O, M, P
benzene w/ 2 CH3 in O, M or P position
they don’t do addition reactions
benzene
benzene + NO3
product will be NO2 attached to benzene ONLY in position 2, 3, or 4 + HOH. Will never be position 1.
benzene + SO3 reaction =
benezene with SO3H attached. No + left over, it’s just one compound being added.
organic compounds - characteristics
low boiling and melting points, insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents
inorganic compounds - characteristics
high boiling and melting points, soluble in water, not soluble in organic solvents
carbonyl group (car bon twice)
C=O
enantiomers aka optical isomers
mirror image - NOT superimposable
formula for dehydration of OH is…(the product and the reagent also)
just the alcohol (whatever she gives you) PLUS H2SO4 = the product and H2O
wood alcohol (poison soaked wood) - ALSO IUPAC name
methanol. used as a solvent. colorless, miscible w/ water, toxic to humans
ethyl alcohol
present in beverages
isopropyl alcohol
rubbing alcohol, used as a solvent, not as toxic as methyl but still toxic
Ethylene glycol, a diol - description (ethyl is sweet but deadly)
slightly sweet, colorless, miscible w/ water. insoluble to nonpolar. lethal to animals
glycerol or glycerin - description - think vape
sweet tasting, colorless, miscible w/ water. nontoxic, used to make candy.
how to tell which has higher boiling point
more carbon = higher boiling point AND more branches = lower boiling point
if the product is CO2 and water (+ alkane), the reaction is..
combustion
alkene + H2O =
alcohol
when is Pd solvent used?
hydrogenation. alkene + H2
just C - H bonds are polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar
organic molecules have___bond
covalent
lin trig tetra
2, 3 and 4 groups attached to C
