Functional groups

Question 1

what is a cycloalkane

Answer 1

a ring that contains only single bonds

Question 2

What is a benzene ring / aromatic ring

Answer 2

a cycloalkane that contains three double bonds on every other side (is a cyclohexane ring)

Question 3

What is a alkyl halide

Answer 3

a alkyl structure that has one of the bonds to a carbon being a halogen

Question 4

What is an alcohol

Answer 4

a alkyl structure that contains a hydroxide (OH) group connected in place of a hydrogen to the carbon

Question 5

What is a primary alcohol

Answer 5

when one of the three remaining hydrogens connected to the carbon atom in the alkyl have a different functional group

Question 6

what is a secondary alcohol

Answer 6

When two of the three remaining hydrogens are replaced with a different functional group connected to the carbon in the alkyl strucutre

Question 7

What is a tertiary alcohol

Answer 7

When all three remaining hydrogens are replaced with functional groups that are connected to the carbon in the alkyl structure

Question 8

what is a primary alkyl halide

Answer 8

when one of the other group aside from the halogen is replaces with another functional group

Question 9

What is a secondary alkyl halide

Answer 9

when two of the remaining groups attached to the carbon are functional groups aside from the halogen

Question 10

What is a tertiary alkyl halide

Answer 10

when all three remaining groups attached to the carbon other than the halogen are functional groups

Question 11

what is an ether

Answer 11

when a structure has an oxygen that connects two functional groups on either side of it and the oxygen possesses two sets of lone pairs

Question 12

what is a cyclic ether

Answer 12

A cycloalkane that contains a oxygen in its structure rather in place of one of the carbons in the ring

Question 13

What are aldehydes

Answer 13

a structure that contains a carbon that is double bonded to an oxygen and a single bonded hydrogen on the same carbon. the remaining bond is either connected to a different functional group or another hydrogen

Question 14

what is a ketone

Answer 14

when a carbon is attached to a oxygen through a double bond and the the other two bonds for the carbon that remain connect two different functional groups

Question 15

What is carboxylic acid

Answer 15

a structure that contains a carbon that has a double bond to an oxygen and has on bond to a hydroxide group and the other bond to a functional group

Question 16

What is acid chloride

Answer 16

a structure where a carbon has a double bond to an oxygen and on of the other bonds are connected to chlorine and the remaining bond connected to a functional groups

Question 17

What is an acid anhydride

Answer 17

A structure has a an ester set up, however the functional group connected to the oxygen is a carbon that has a double bonded oxygen as well and a functional group on the final bond

Question 18

What is an ester

Answer 18

a structure where a carbon is double bonded to an oxygen and has a single bond on to a different oxygen and a functional group on the remaining bond. On the single bonded oxygen there is a functional group

Question 19

what is an nitrile

Answer 19

a strucutre where a carbon is bonded to three different hydrogens and with the remaining bond it is bonded to a carbon. This second carbon is triple bonded to a nitrogen

Question 20

What is an amine

Answer 20

A structure where the a nitrogen atoms takes the role of the carbon and has three different groups bonded to it

Question 21

what is a primary amine

Answer 21

When one of the hydrogens are replaced with a functional group

Question 22

What is a secondary amine

Answer 22

When two of the hydrogens bonded to the nitrogen are replaced with a functional group

Question 23

What is a teritary amine

Answer 23

when all three hydrogens that are bonded to the nitrogen are replaced with different functional gorups

Question 24

what is a amide

Answer 24

a structure where a carbon is double bonded to an oxygen and one of the remaining bonded are connected to a NH2 atom and the last bond is connected to a functional group
