FINALS GROUP 5 Flashcards
A colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It dissolves in water to give a strongly alkaline solution
Ammonia
Any of a class of basic organic compounds derived from ammonia by replacement of hydrogen with one or more monovalent hydrocarbon radicals
Amines
Any organic compounds with a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom
Amides
A nonmetallic chemical elements with atomic number 7 that under standard conditions is a colorless, odorless, inert gas, that constitutes 78 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere
Nitrogen
The smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically
Atomic

___ is an inorganic nitrogen containing chemical compound.
Ammonia
Ammonia gas which is toxic can be dissolved in water to form ___ that is commonly used in household and industrial cleaning products
Aqueous ammonia
Good smelling Amines are generally ___ some are potent ___ like ___
Toxic
Carcinogens
B-naphthylamine
The structure of ___ is organic compounds with a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom
Amides
One alkyl or aryl group attached to nitrogen (E.g. ethanamide)
Primary amides
Two alkyl or aryl groups attached to nitrogen
(E.g., N-methyl ethanamide)
Secondary amides
Three groups attached to nitrogen (N,N-dimethylrthanamide)
Tertiary amides
PROPERTIES OF AMIDES
1. water soluble due to hydrogen bonding
- Less water-soluble; tend to be solid at room temperature
- Have a NEUTRAL ODOR, unlike amines - More stable than amines; they resist hydrolysis better under normal conditions
Smaller amides
Larger amides
Stability
EXAMPLES
- (CH3CONH2) used as a solvent, in plasticizer and in the synthesis of organic compounds
- (HCONH2) Used in the preparation of adhesives and as a solvent for chemical reactions
- ((DMF) A widely used solvent in organic chemistry, especially in polymerization Processes
Acetamide
Formamide
N,N-Dimethylformamide
___ in proteins are amides, linking amino acids together
- Used in drugs formulations, as solvents and in the synthesis of medicine
Peptide bonds
