Intro and Nomenclature (Chapter 11.1/11.2)

Question 1

What are hydrocarbons?

Answer 1

A compound only containing hydrogen and carbon atoms

Question 2

What are saturated hydrocarbons?

Answer 2

Hydrocarbons joined together with singular bonds only

Question 3

What are unsaturated hydrocarbons?

Answer 3

Hydrocarbons with a double or triple bond anywhere in their structure.

Question 4

What is a homologous series?

Answer 4

Compounds that have the same functional group and general formula.

Question 5

How many electrons does carbon have in it’s highest energy level?

Answer 5

4

Question 6

What types of bonds can carbon make?

Answer 6

-Single
-Double
-Triple

Question 7

What is an aliphatic compound?

Answer 7

An organic compound containing carbon and hydrogen atoms that are non-aromatic

Question 8

What is an alicyclic compound?

Answer 8

An aliphatic compound that are arranged in rings

Question 9

What is the definition of aromatic?

Answer 9

Where some or all carbon atoms are found in a benzene ring

Question 10

What is an alkyne?

Answer 10

A hydrocarbon with one or more triple carbon to carbon bonds

Question 11

What is a “longest continuous chain”/”LCC”?

Answer 11

A singular chain that contains the most carbon atoms

Question 12

What is a stem and what does it tell you about a molecule?

Answer 12

-A stem is the part of the word that carries the meaning

-Tells you how many carbon atoms are in the longest continuous chain

Question 13

What’s the stem word for a hydrocarbon chain having a LCC of 3 carbons?

Answer 13

Prop

Question 14

What’s the stem word for a hydrocarbon having a LCC of 4 atoms?

Answer 14

But

Question 15

What’s the stem word for a hydrocarbon having a LCC of 7 atoms?

Answer 15

Hept

Question 16

What does a prefix tell you about a molecule?

Answer 16

If there are any sidechains or functional groups in a compound

Question 17

What would be the prefix of a hydrocarbon having a sidechain of 5 be?

Answer 17

Pentyl

Question 18

What would a suffix tell you about a molecule

Answer 18

It’s functional group

Question 19

What suffix do all Alkanes have?

Answer 19

“Ane”

Question 20

How would you indicate where a side-group is when naming an alkane?

Answer 20

-Putting the number of the parent chain carbon that it comes off from.

-(making sure you keep the number of it as low as possible)

Question 21

What do you do if a sidechain and a parent chain have the same length?

Answer 21

Consider the chain with the most branches the parent chain.

Question 22

What’s the extra step for naming Alicyclic Alkenes?

Answer 22

Use the prefix “cyclo” in front of the stem

Question 23

Do you need to add a position number if a alicyclic alkane/alkene has only one sidechain?

Answer 23

No.

Question 24

How do you name a compound with a functional group?

Answer 24

-Find the parent chain of the carbon atoms and name

-Find the functional groups and alkyl side chains then use their suffixes/prefixes after numbering
