Unit 2- Systematic Carbon Chemistry

Question 1

Compounds containing only single carbon to carbon bonds are described as being

Answer 1

Saturated

Question 2

Compounds that contain at least on carbon to carbon double bond are described as being

Answer 2

Unsaturated

Question 3

Unsaturated molecules can take part in addition reactions what is an addition reaction?

Answer 3

Two molecules combine to form a single molecule

Question 4

How do you distinguish an unsaturated compound from a saturated one

Answer 4

An unsaturated molecule will rapidly decolourise bromine solution

Question 5

What are isomers?

Answer 5

• compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae
• may belong to different homologous series
• usually have different physical properties

Question 6

The solubility, bp and volatility of a compound can be predicted considering……

Answer 6

The presence of O-H or N-H bonds which implies hydrogen bonding
The spatial arrangement of polar covalent bonds which could result in a molecule possessing a permanent dipole
•molecular size which would affects LDF’s
•the polarities of solute and solvent
