26
what bond is formed after the alcohol is oxidized
double bond
27
a primary alcohol is oxidized to what
aldehyde
28
react a primary alcohol (ethanol) and show its product s
aldehyde and H2O
29
react a secondary alcohol (2-butanol) with an oxidizing agent
ketone and H2O
30

tertiary alcohol
31
cyclohexanol is a what type of alcohol
secondary alcohol
32
what will happen when a cyclohexanol is oxidized
ketone
33
both have the carbonyl group >C=O
aldehyde and ketone
34
more electronegative than C thus making the C partially +

ketones and aldehydes typically undergo this
nucleophilic addition reaction
38
occurs with aldehyde but not with ketone
oxidation

reaction of carboxylic acid when reacted with LiAlH4 and H3O
draw your reaction and grade yourself accordingly
44
what happens when aldehyde is oxidized
carbocxylic acid
45
draw the reaction between an aldehyde and oxidizing agent
grade yourself accordingly
46
what inserts itself between the carbon and hydrogen bond when an aldehyde is oxidized
O
47
resist oxidation since there is no H in the carbon that the O is attached to
ketones
48
