Organic Chem Flashcards
1
Q
Molecular Formula
A
Shows number of carbons and hydrogens
2
Q
Structural Formula
A
shows bonding arrangements of the molecule
3
Q
Alkane properties
A
Low melting point
Low boiling point
insoluble in water
requires high activation energy
4
Q
Alkenes
A
React more readily than alkanes
do not require high activation energy
exhibit another form of isomerism, because their is no rotation possible about the double bond.
- means two new molecules can be formed, different spatial arrangement
5
Q
geometric isomers
A
have different physical properties
chemical properties are the same
6
Q
Structural isomers
A
atoms arranged differently
7
Q
Benzene
A
Does not readily undergo reactions
formed through distilliation of crude oil
