systematic carbon chemistry

Question 1

isomers

Answer 1

compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formula

Question 2

volatility

Answer 2

has a low boiling point and evaporates easily
- the higher the bp the lower volatility

Question 3

solubility

Answer 3

polar compounds soluble in polar solvents
vv

Question 4

highest boiling point

Answer 4

more electrons - larger molecule - more energy to break bonds

Question 5

which substances dissolve in water

Answer 5

polar molecules dissolve in water because water is polar

Question 6

primary alcohol

Answer 6

only 1 carbon joined to the carbon bonded to the OH

Question 7

secondary alcohol

Answer 7

2 carbons bonded to the carbon that bonds with OH

Question 8

tertiary alcohol

Answer 8

3 carbons bonded to the carbon bonded to OH

Question 9

cycloalcohol

Answer 9

a cycloalkane where a hydroxyl group has replaced a hydrogen atom in the molecule
- secondary alcohol
- not an isomer of straight chain

Question 10

viscosity

Answer 10

a measure of how much the molecules in a liquid tend to stick together
- more viscous –> less runny
- more hydrogen bonds –> higher viscosity
