Week 7 Flashcards
Cycloalkanes is also called
alicylic compounds
Cycloalkanes (alicylic compounds) are___________ containing C-C and C-H single bonds only
saturated cyclic hydrocarbons
What is the simplest member cycloalkane?
cyclopropane (C3H6)
Cycloalkanes are represented as_______
polygons
It is the most studied, understood and is considered the most important cycloalkane
cyclohexane(C6H12)
Classifications of cyclic compounds
(1) Homocyclic compounds
(2) Heterocyclic compounds
These are cyclic compounds having atoms of the same elements as their ring members
Homocyclic compounds
(True or False)
Cycloalkanes are represented as polygons with the understanding each corner to a C atom where requisite number of H atom is attached considering its divalent nature
False
(tetravalent)
Homocyclic compounds consist of C atoms only are known as
Carbocyclic compounds or carbocycles
These are cyclic compounds having atoms of different elements as ring members including carbon atoms
Heterocyclic compounds
(True or False)
Heterocyclic compounds are cyclic compounds having atoms of the same elements as their ring members
False
(different elements)
(True or False)
Homocyclic compounds are cyclic compounds having atoms of different elements as ring members including carbon atoms
False
(same elements)
(True or False)
Heterocyclic compounds may contain oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur or halogens in place of C atom in the ring
False
(not halogens)
We name compounds containing two fused or bridged rings as ________
bicycloalkanes
(True or False)
We interpose an expression in parenthesis within the name that denotes the number of carbon atoms in each bridge
False
(brackets)
