Organic Chemistry Review With CompleteSolutions Latest Update
Alkanes - correct answers -a hydrocarbon in which there are only single covalent bonds
-the carbon atoms in this molecule can be arranged in a straight chain or in a chain that has branches
alkenes - correct answers -hydrocarbons that contain one or more carbon-carbon double covalent bonds
-at least one carbon-carbon bond in this molecule is a double covalent bond
-other boys may be single carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-hydrogen bonds
alkynes - correct answers -triple covalent bonds
substituent - correct answers -an atom or group of atoms that can take the place of a hydrogen atom on a
parent hydrocarbon molecule
condensed structural formula - correct answers -some bonds and/or atoms are left out of the structural
formula
structural formula - correct answers -a chemical formula showing the linkage of the atoms in the molecule
diagrammatically
molecular formula - correct answers -expression of the number and type of atoms that are present in a single
molecule of a substance
structural isomer - correct answers -compounds that have the same molecular formula, but the atoms are
joined together in a different order
-differ in physical properties such as boiling and melting points
-different chemical reactivities
, geometric isomer - correct answers -have atoms joined in the same order, but differ in the orientation of
groups around a double bond
-trans or cis configuration
stereoisomers - correct answers -molecules in which the atoms are joined in the same order, but the positions
of the atoms in space are different
-the two different types are geometric and optical
asymmetric carbon - correct answers -a carbon with four different atoms or groups attached
-central carbon
trans configuration - correct answers -the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond
-geometric isomer
-lays flat
-IMF's are higher because the attraction is stronger
cis configuration - correct answers -the methyl groups are on opposite sides of the double bond
-geometric isomer
-a lot of extra space
-easier to pull apart because of low IMF
cycloalkanes - correct answers -an alkane has a cyclic or ring structure
-there are no end carbon atoms
enatomers - correct answers -mirror-images but they aren't the same
-different structure
