A

SATURATED: alkANEs
-the maximum amount of H are there

UNSATURATED: alkENEs and alkYNEs and aromatic rings
-more H could be bonded to a C

56
Q

how can you identify the polarity of a molecule using chromotography?

A

lower polarity will move faster and therefore travel farther

higher will move slower and travel smaller distance

57
Q

properties of metals vs nonmetals vs metalloids

A

metals: good conductors, high melting point, usually solid at room temp., malleable and ductile

nonmetals: worse conductors, low melting point, usually liquid or gas at room temp., brittle
