Q

Describe the difference between ammonia and ammonium regarding the basicity of nitrogen.

A

N has 5 valence electrons and wants 3 more to complete its valence shell.

However, in ammonia and very many amines, N can form 4 covalent bonds and it acquires a “+” charge

This can be pH dependent, the higher the pH (basic, less H+ floating around, the more ammonia, NH3.)

The lower the pH (acidic, more H+ floating around, the more ammonium, NH4+)

Q

IUPAC nomenclature rules

A
  1. name the longest alkane - this is the parent chain
  2. name all substituent alkyl groups in alphabetical order
  3. use multipliers to indicate number of identical substituents
  4. number the parent chain from the end, giving the lowest possible numbers for substituents
  5. number the substituents. Numbers are separated from numbers with “,”, and from letters with “-“.

Q

How does an isopropyl group differ from a propyl group?

A

The isopropyl group is an isomer of the propyl group

A propyl group connects to another group of atoms at the first carbon in the 3 carbon chain

An isopropyl group is attached to another atom at the center of the propyl group

(cytosine, uracil, and thymine)

“Cut the Py”

“CU T Py”

30
Q

A

Amides

32
Q

Propane

A

C3H8

33
Q

Describe an ester.

A

Similar to carboxylic acids except that the H of the Hydroxyl has been replaced with an organic group

name by adding suffix “oate” to the the parent name

34
Q

Alkenes can combine with other alkenes to form larger __________.

A

Alkanes (basis for many polymers)

i.e. formation of polyethylene (HDPE #2 LDPE #4) from ethylene

polypropylene (PP#5) from propylene

polystyrene (PS #6) from styrene

polyvinylchloride (PVC #3) from chloroethene

**longer chains are more stable**

35
Q

Rules for naming ethers.

A

When alkyls are linked by an –O– bridge:

  1. the smaller alkyl goes first, followed by “-oxy-“ then the larger alkyl group

OR

  1. The two substituents are named, followed by “ether.”
36
Q

trans

A

across

37
Q

Two names for C2H2

A

ethyne or acetylene

38
Q

T or F: Cycloalkanes contain only single bonds.

A

True

39
Q

Alkanes that form rings are called?

A

Cycloalkanes

Name by prefixing “cyclo-“ to the alkane name

**they contain only single bonds**

40
Q

How do ketones differ from aldehydes?

A

Ketones do NOT have a hydrogen bound to the carbonyl carbon.
