Organic Molecules

Question 1

Functional groups’ structure and charge or polarity.

Answer 1

Hydroxyl- OH; polar
Carbonyl- COH or CO; polar
Carbonyl- COOH; negative
Amino- NH2; positive
Sulfhydryl- SH; polar
Phosphate- PO4; negative
Methyl- CH; nonpolar

Question 2

Isomer-

Answer 2

Molecules with same molecular formula but have different shapes.

Question 3

Monomers and Polymers-

Answer 3

Monomers- type of small molecule.
Polymers- type of large molecule made up of many monomers.

Question 4

Dehydration Synthesis Reaction-

Answer 4

Takes water out to build something. Uses monomers to make polymers.

Question 5

Hydrolysis-

Answer 5

Breaks water to make monomers. Breaks polymers to make monomers.

Question 6

Why’s carbon versatile in making bonds?

Answer 6

It has four stable covalent bonds.

Question 7

Relationship between monomers and polymers.

Answer 7

They’re both the building blocks of life.

Question 8

How can functional groups can determine the function of organic molecules?

Answer 8

By giving organic molecules distinctive properties and by making hydrocarbons, hydrophilic.
