Chemical Form And Function

Question 1

Alcohol?

Answer 1

hydroxyl functional group.

Question 2

Aldehyde?

Answer 2

A double bonded oxygen functional group.

Question 3

Ester?

Answer 3

single bonded oxygen with an extra carbon edge.

Question 4

Different oxidation states?

Answer 4

•alcohol
•aldehyde
•acid
•ester

Question 5

Condensation reactions?

Answer 5

Between acid and alcohols, which yields an ester + water.

Question 6

Acid?

Answer 6

Double bonded oxygen and hydroxyl group.

Question 7

Two processes that yield volatility?

Question 8

R group?

Answer 8

A variable group

Question 9

A hydroxyl group is available for what type of bonding?

Answer 9

Hydrogen bonding.

Question 10

Bigger organic molecules smell more/less?

Answer 10

Less

Question 11

Unsaturated compounds?

Answer 11

When there is an atom that doesn’t have all their valence electrons filled due to one or more double or triple bonds.

Question 12

Esters are higher/lower volatile?

Answer 12

Higher

Question 13

Conjugation?

Answer 13

Polar and water soluble.

Question 14

Types of reactivity in organic chemistry?

Answer 14

•Hydrolysis (addition of H2O to split bonds)
•Oxidation/redox
•Group transfer (methyl-, amino-, sugar-)

Question 15

Volatilization through chemical modification?

Answer 15

When you make an ester with certain compounds, they cannot form hydrogen bonds, making them extremely volatile in the air.

Question 16

Modes of activity? 3•

Answer 16

•reactivity
•volatilization
•solubility
•diversification (by overwhelming due to releasing so many compounds)
