wording Flashcards
Constitutional Isomers (Structural)
have the same molecular formula but their atoms are arranged in a different order. (they differ in the arrangement of atoms)
Cis-Trans Isomers
have the same order of attachment of atoms but the arrangement of atoms in space is different.
A polymer is
a large molecule made up of many small repeating units (called monomers)
Polymerization is
the reaction in which the monomers join together to form the large molecule (addition polymerization)
Haloalkanes reaction with KMNO4-/H+ (aq)
insoluble in aq and will form two layers
Carboxylic acid reaction with (aq)
soluble and will dissolve, one layer
Substitution reaction
is occurring as one atom group is substituted for another atom/group
Asymmetrical Alcohol
two products can be formed depending upon which neighboring carbon atom the H atom is eliminated from.
Major Product (reverse marnikovs)
forms when the OH group is eliminated along with one H atom from the neighboring carbon with the least amount of H atoms attached.
The double bonds in each
(addition polymerasiation)
… unit is broken leaving a single c-c bond and enabling two new single c-c bonds to form between monomer units therefore constructing many monomers into long repeating polymer chains
Saturated Molecule
containing only single c-c bonds are less reactive compared to the unsaturated double c=c bonds.
Geometric Isomers must contain
a c=c double bond to prevent rotation of the attached atoms around the bond, fixing the atoms position in space. This lack of free rotation about the double bond means there will be two different arrangements for groups around the double bond. It must also have two different atoms/groups attached to each carbon involved in the double bond.
Ethyne is
slighty soluble
An addition reaction is
one where the double or triple bond breaks and other atoms are introduced into the organic molecule. The molecule becomes more saturated.
Alkenes are gases
at room temp
