Organic chemistry AS level CIE, Fully
answered exam questions for perfect
grades

Empirical Formula - ANSWER-The lowest whole # ratio of atoms in a compound



Molecular Formula - ANSWER-The actual number of atoms in a compound



Functional Group - ANSWER--An atom or group of atoms (other than hydrogen)

-Impacts specific physical and chemical properties of a homologous series of organic
compounds.



Homologous Series - ANSWER-The series of hydrocarbons that follows the formula
C(n)H(an+b)



Catenation - ANSWER-Adding carbons to chain



Isomer/Structural Isomer - ANSWER-A molecule with a different structure but the same
chemical formula



Substitution reaction - ANSWER-When an H on the carbon chain is switched out for a
substituent group or functional group



Free Radical - ANSWER-An unbonded atom that can accept an extra electron to make
a bonding pair



Initiation - ANSWER-when the # of free radicals INCREASE



Propagation - ANSWER-when the # of free radicals STAY CONSTANT

, Termination - ANSWER-when the # of free radicals DECREASE



Homolytic Fission - ANSWER-The process of braking apart one molecule to create two
identical atoms or molecules that acts as free radicals



Chain Reaction - ANSWER-when a small event causes many subsequent events to
occur



Reaction Mechanism - ANSWER-The series of steps needed to go from reactants to
products within an organic reaction



Addition Reaction - ANSWER-When two organic compounds are added together to
make a singular compound. Involves increasing the size of the carbon chain



Electrophiles - ANSWER-positively charged species that are attracted to high
concentration electron environments



Structural formula - ANSWER-A structural formula shows the connectivity of the atoms
in the molecule.



Steric Hinderance - ANSWER-The prevention or slowing down of a reaction by atoms or
functional groups blocking the access of an attacking molecule or ion



Stereo - isomerism - ANSWER-Isomerism arising from differences in the shapes of the
molecules. Includes geometric and optical isomerism



Carbocation - ANSWER-A cation in which the carbon carries most of the + charge. Can
be formed during SN1 substitution.



Chiral center - ANSWER-An asymmetric carbon atom, i.e. has four different functional
groups attached to it.
