Organic Chemistry

Question 1

Hydrocarbons

Answer 1

Compounds that contain only H and C atoms

Question 2

Saturated

Answer 2

Compound in which there are no multiple bonds between Carbon Atoms in the hydrocarbon chain

Question 3

Unsaturated

Answer 3

Compounds with one or more multiple bonds between C atoms in the hydrocarbon chain

Question 4

Structural Formula

Answer 4

Formula used to show how the atoms in a molecule bond with each other.

Question 5

Condensed Structural formula

Answer 5

A notatation that shows the way in which atoms are bonded together but does not show all the bond lines

Question 6

Homologous series

Answer 6

A series of organic compounds that can be described by the same general formula or in which one member different from the next with a CH2 group

Question 7

Functional group

Answer 7

A bond or an atom or a group of atoms that determines the physicla and chemical properties of a group of organic compounds

Question 8

Structural Isomers

Answer 8

Organic molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae

Question 9

Organic Molecule

Answer 9

Molecules containing C atoms

Question 10

Molecular Formula

Answer 10

Chemical formula that indicates the type of atoms and the correct number of each in molecule

Question 11

Chain Isomers

Answer 11

Organic Molecules withthe same molecular formula but different chains

Question 12

Positional Isomers

Answer 12

Organic Molecules withthe same molecular formula, but different positions of the side chain, substituents or functional groups on the parent chain

Question 13

Functional Isomers

Answer 13

Organic Molecules with the same molecular formula but different functional groups

Question 14

The Addition Rule

Answer 14

When an unsymmetrical molecule containing hydrogen is added to an unsymmetrical, unsaturated compound the H atom attaches to the C of the double bond that has the greatest amount of H atoms attached. To it the remaining part of the added molecule is added to the C of the double bond having the most carbons attached to it

Question 15

The Eliminations Rule

Answer 15

When a molecule containing hydrogen is removed from a saturated compound the hydrogen is removed from the carbon with the least amount of hydrogen atoms attached to it. The double bond forms between the carbon atom and the carbon atom to which the other part of the remove molecule was attached
