Exam 3 - Module 7 Flashcards
What does a Lewis Structure represent in a molecular structure?
Valence electrons as dots around atoms and bonds as lines between atoms.
How many electrons are represented in a single bond in a Lewis Structure?
Two electrons.
What type of bond is represented by two lines in a Lewis Structure?
A double bond, representing four electrons.
What do three lines between atoms represent in a Lewis Structure?
A triple bond (6 electrons).
What are Bond-Angle Structures used for?
Specifically for organic structures.
When are carbon atoms drawn in Bond-Angle Formulas?
They are not drawn unless showing something specific.
When are hydrogen atoms drawn in Bond-Angle Formulas?
When attached to a heteroatom like N, O, S, or P.
When are heteroatoms drawn in Bond-Angle Structures?
Heteroatoms are always drawn.
What does it indicate when two lines meet in a Bond-Angle Structure?
A carbon atom is present at that point.
When are bonds between carbon and heteroatoms drawn?
They may be drawn when part of a ring or chain.
What about bonds between heteroatoms and hydrogens in Bond-Angle Formulas?
They may be drawn when showing something specific.
Are lone pair electrons typically drawn in Bond-Angle Formulas?
No, they may be drawn when showing something specific.
What are examples of functional groups in organic chemistry?
Alkanes (C–C), Alkenes (C=C), Alkynes (C≡C), Halides (C–X), Alcohols (C–OH), Aldehydes, Ketones, Esters, Amides, Carboxylic Acids, Ethers (C–O–C), Thiol (C–SH), Sulfide (C–S–R), Amines (C–N), Carbonyl (C=O).
How do you identify the parent chain in organic nomenclature?
It is the longest chain of carbon atoms containing the highest priority functional group.
What are substituents in organic chemistry?
Anything attached to the parent chain.
