Part 1 Flashcards
Compounds that have –OH group bonded to a saturated, alkane-like carbon atom.
Alcohols
They are the 2 simplest families of carbonyl compounds
Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones have a lower boiling point than alkanes (T/F)
False (higher boiling point)
Aldehydes and ketones are moderately polar (T/F)
True
Aldehydes and ketones have similar MW to alkanes (T/F)
True
Aldehydes and ketones molecules form hydrogen bond with each other.
Compounds with similar MW T/F
False (They do not form hydrogen bonds)
Rank based on boiling point
Alkane - lowest
Aldehydes/Ketones- Mid
Alcohol- Highest
they have the lowest boiling point among the four
Alkanes
Different kinds of carbonyl-containing products are formed, depending on the structure of the starting alcohol and on the reaction conditions. T/F
True
Tertiary alcohols will react with oxidizing agents T/F
False (will not react)
Other term for Enols
Alkenols
A molecule which has a hydroxyl group (OH) group
directly bonded to an alkene (C=C)
Enols (Alkenols)
