chemsitry Flashcards
what does the functional group do in a compound
it is responsible for each compound individuality and the reactivity of the compound
what is unsaturated or saturated molecules
the saturated molecules mean each bonds are attach a atom. however unsaturated mean some bonds are not attached to other atoms(alkenes).
how do the molecules have a greater melting point/boiling point
as the carbon chain gets longer the intermolecular attractive force in between the molecules increase. this is why more heat is required and the melting and the boiling point increases.
what is the polarity of the substance
the polarity is the mixability of two molecules/compounds.
the trend of solubility with the length of the compound/ molecules
as the carbon chain lengthen/gets longer, the solubility usually decrease.
addition reactions
an addition of atom into a compound(alkenes…)
structural isomer
molecules with different arrangement of atom but have the same molecular formula.
geometric isomer
have a double bond with same numbers of atom on the each side of the bond. there is no rotation in the bond therefore is a fixed position of the atom in the bond
reagent required (alkene + hydrogen ->alkane)
the reagent in this reaction is catalyst (possible catalyst nickel platinum)
reagent required for alkene + halogen —> haloalkane
no reagent
reagent required for alkene + hydrogen halide —-> haloalkane + h20
there is no reagent
reagent
alkene –> alcohol
the reagent is h20/H+ (or diluted acid,heat)
substitution reaction
where the atom in the compound is substituted with another atom or group
the reagent for
alkane —-> haloalkane
it requries halogen and some kind of heat (possibly UV light)
the reagent for
haloalkane —> alcohol
needs KOH(aq) and heat
