Question 8

a simplified way of showing that a given substance is structurally different from another, although they have the same chemical formula, is by using the

Answer 8

The structural formula

Question 9

Compounds with the same molecular formula but differ in structure.

Answer 9

Structural isomers

Question 10

Organic compounds with the same formula, but the arrangements of their carbon skeleton are different.

Answer 10

Chain isomerism

Question 10

Organic compounds with the same formula, but the arrangements of their carbon skeleton are different.

Answer 10

Chain isomerism

Question 11

Occurs when the same functional groups are attached to different positions on a carbon chain.

Answer 11

Positional Isomerism

Question 12

Occurs if different compounds are formed due to the different arrangements of their atoms leading to different functional groups.

Answer 12

Functional Isomerism

Question 13

Isomers that have the same structural connections, but the branches can probably differ in their location.

Answer 13

Stereoisomers

Question 14

When an atom or a group of atoms is replaced by a new species.

Answer 14

Substitution

Question 15

Involves the removal of 2 atoms or groups of atoms attached to 2 adjacent C atoms, resulting to the formation of a multiple bond and the release of by-product.

Answer 15

Elimination

Question 16

When 2 atoms or groups of atoms attach to 2 adjacent C atoms, breaking a multiple bond between them.

Answer 16

Addition

Question 17

Reaction of organic substances with oxygen that decomposes or breaks the substances into carbon dioxide and water.

Answer 17

Combustion of organic fuels

Question 18

Combination or synthesis of a new, bigger molecule by combining two organic molecules.

Answer 18

Condensation

Question 19

Breaking up a fat or a triglyceride by the addition of a base, NaOH. The process produces soap molecules, a long chain with a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail.

Answer 19

Saponification of fats

Question 20

A single chain of interconnected units called monomers.

Answer 20

Polymer

Question 21

The formation of polymers occurs in nature and has also been duplicated in the manufacturing industry.

Answer 21

Polymerization

Question 22

Where the monomers are prepared for bonding usually by the action of a catalyst. They are essentially activated in this stage.

Answer 22

Initiation Stage

Question 23

Where the activated monomers attach to the bonding site of the next monomer, forming a continuous link.

Answer 23

Propagation Stage

Question 24

Where the growing of the chain is stopped by the bonding or the last monomer with a free radical or a termination species.

Answer 24

Termination Stage

Question 25

Carbon compounds with multiple bonds between the C atoms can be added to form a chain.

Answer 25

Addition Polymerization

Question 26

Combining individual units is by the removal of small components.

Answer 26

Condensation Polymerization
