Question 6

Substituted Hydrocarbon:

Answer 6

A hydrocarbon that had at least one hydrogen atom that had been replaced by another element.

Question 7

Nonmetal Replacement:

Answer 7

A substituted hydrocarbon that has at least one hydrogen replaced with another nonmetal atom.

Question 8

Alcohol:

Answer 8

A substituted hydrocarbon where at least one hydrogen is replaced by a hydroxyl group. (Ends in Ol)

Question 9

Organic Acid:

Answer 9

A substituted hydrocarbon that has hydrogen atoms replaced by a carboxyl group. (COOH)

Question 10

Ester:

Answer 10

A substituted hydrocarbon that is created when an alcohol and an organic acid react, they leave water behind. (Esters give fruit and flows scent)

Question 11

Isomer:

Answer 11

Two compounds that have the same chemical formula but different structural formula.

Question 12

What makes an organic compound?

Answer 12

It contains carbon.

Question 13

What makes carbon so versatile?

Answer 13

It has 4 valence electrons
Its is a non metal
Can bond covalently

Question 14

What are the three main formations of carbon?

Answer 14

Straight, Branched and Rings (5c and 6c)

Question 15

What are the differences of a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Also give the names for each.

Answer 15

A saturated hydrocarbon has only single bonds between the carbons and all remaining bonding positions are filled by hydrogen. An unsaturated hydrocarbon has at least one double or triple bond between the carbon atoms. The names for a single bond only saturated hydrocarbon is Alkane. The name for an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a double bond is Alkene. The name for an unsaturated hydrocarbon with triple bonds is an Alkyne.

Question 16

Answer 16

Low melting and boiling point
Liquids and gasses
Strong odors
Do not conduct electricity
Covalent bond
Do not typically dissolve in water
