Introduction to Organic Chemistry

Question 1

organic molecules

Answer 1

Contain carbon

Question 2

Respiration

Answer 2

The chemical reaction that takes place in cells to produce energy.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ——-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy

This is the opposite process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question 3

Photosynthesis

Answer 3

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the source of carbon in living things. Plants take in CO2 during photosynthesis and convert it to glucose.

6CO2 + H20 + sunlight (energy) ——–> C6H1206 + 6O2

Question 4

Isomers

Answer 4

Are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures.

Question 5

Class of Compounds (Number of covalent bonds)

Answer 5

1. Alkane
2. Alkene

A hydrocarbon contains only carbon and hydrogen. Alkanes, alkenes and alkyenes. Hydrocarbons are

• Non-polar = hydrophobic
• soluble in non-polar solvents

Alcohol
carboxylic Acid
Amine
-These are polar functional groups, contain both polar and non-polar parts
-Small molecules with polar groups tend to be soluble in water, hydrophilic

Question 6

Suffix

Answer 6

Alkane: ane
Alkene: ene
Alcohol: an-ol
Carboxylic Acid: an-oic acid
Amine: an-amine
