Features Of Organic Compounds Flashcards
1
Q
Catenation
A
The covalent bonding of an element to itself to form chains or rings.
2
Q
Nonionic behavior
A
Organic compounds are covalent in nature and do not typically form ions.
3
Q
Similarity in behavior
A
Organic compounds exhibit similar behaviors due to their homologous series.
4
Q
Complexity
A
Organic compounds can be large and structurally complex
5
Q
Isomerism
A
Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
6
Q
Rate of reaction
A
Organic compounds generally react slowly due to their molecular nature.
7
Q
Solubility
A
Organic compounds are typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like benzene and ether.
