Q

when a molecule has more bonds than expected, what is the result?

A

a positive charge
Ex: such is the case with NH4. when nitrogen must share the lone pairs of electrons with one extra hydrogen, the overall molecule will gain a positive charge

34
Q

what is the difference between isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl?

A

isobutyl has a methyl branch at the second to last carbon of the substi.
sec-butyl has a methyl branch at the first carbon of the substi.
tert-butyl has a trimethyl branch at the first carbon of the substi.

35
Q

what is the name of this substituent

A

sec-butyl

36

isobutyl

37
Q

what is the name of this substituent?

tert-butyl

38

A
39
Q

A
40
Q

what are the factors that contribute to London forces?

A

surface area
number of electrons

41
Q

what is the boiling point of a compound dependent on?

A

intermolecular forces (stronger IMFs = higher boiling point)
number of branches - more branching causes reduction of surface area = lower boiling point

42
Q

what is the melting point of a compound dependent on?

A

IMFs
symmetry - more symmetrical molecules will have higher melting points

43
Q

which molecule would have higher boiling point and which higher melting point?

A

a.) would have higher boiling point because the net dipole is positive in value (stronger IMFs)
b.) would have a higher melting point because it is more symmetrical (more symmetry)

44
Q

are alkanes polar or nonpolar? do they dissolve in water?

A

alkanes are nonpolar
they do not dissolve in water

45
Q

what are some characteristics of alkanes?

A

less dense than water
flammable
odorless
colorless
tasteless
nontoxic

46
Q

what is the definition of a smaller alkane?

A

1-4 carbons = gas
they are a suffocation hazard

47
Q

what does the reaction of complete combustion of an alkane require and what does it produce? incomplete?

A
48
Q

how many degrees in a trigonal planar?

A

120

49
Q

how many degrees in a bent trigonal planar?

A

118

50
Q

how many degrees in tetrahedral?

A

109.5

51
Q

how many degrees in trigonal pyramidal?

A

107

52
Q

how many degrees in bent tetrahedral?

A

104

53
Q

which directions along the periodic table is electronegativity stronger?

A

gets stronger as it moves towards fluorine in the upper righthand corner

54
Q

which of these would have stronger London forces?

A

pentane would have stronger forces because it has more surface area
neopentane would have weaker forces because of the low surface area
