Q

draw the formula for a halogenoalkane

A

R-X (X = F,Cl,Br or I)

19
Q

draw the formula for an alcohol

A

R-0H

20
Q

What is the prefix for a halogenoalkane?

A

flouro, chloro, iodo or bromo (the halogens)

21
Q

What is a structural isomer?

A

They have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas

22
Q

How are numbers separated in systematic names

A

with commas ,

23
Q

How are words and numbers separated in systematic names?

A

With a hyphen -

24
Q

If iodo and bromo are in the same chemical compound, which one would you write first when naming it and why?

A

Bromo would be written before iodo because the substituting groups are put in alphabetical order.

25
Q

How can you show that you have more than one of the same substituting group? For example more than one iodo in a chain.

A

You would add the prefixes di-, tri- or tetra- before the substituting group

26
Q

What is a homologous series?

A

A family of organic compound with the same functional group, but different carbon chain lengths.

27
Q

What is a homologous series?

A

A family of organic compound with the same functional group, but different carbon chain lengths.

28
Q

What does the length of the carbon chain affect?

A

Physical properties such as melting points, boiling points and solubility

29
Q

Melting and boiling points of the chains increase when what happens?

A

As the number of carbon atoms in the chain increase

30
Q

Why does the melting and boiling point of the chain increase as the number of carbon atoms increase.

A

the intermolecular forces increase.

31
Q

Small molecules of hydrocarbon are generally in what state?

A

gases

32
Q

Larger molecules of hydocarbon are generally in what state?

A

liquids or solids

33
Q

Why does chain branching reduce the melting point?

A

because the molecules pack together less well
