Term | Definition |
---|---|
alkyne | An unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains one or more triple covalent carbon-to-carbon bonds |
alkyl group | A substituent group that consists of an alkane molecule from which one hydrogen atom has been removed |
Which of types of reactions produce a small molecule by-product, such as water? | condensation and elimination |
What are some types of addition reactions? What aren't? | Hydrohalogenation, hydrogenation, and hydration are types of addition reactions, but condensation is not. |
Name the organic compound with the general formula R--”X and name its functional group: | alkyl halide, halogen. |
substitution reaction | an organic chemical reaction in which an atom or a carbon group in a molecule of one organic compound is replaced with another atom or functional group to create a new compound. |
A substitution reaction occurs when | a more electronegative atom replaces a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon molecule. |
Which is NOT a good way to reduce polymer waste? | disposing of polymers directly into landfills or outlawing the use of plastics. |
Name the organic compound with the general formula R-OH and name its functional group. | alcohol, hydroxyl. |
organic chemistry | the branch of chemistry that deals with organic compounds |
alkane | A saturated hydrocarbon that uses only single covalent bonds |
substituent group | An atom or a group of atoms that replaces a hydrogen atom or a carbon group in an organic compound |
addition reaction | will convert multiple covalent bonds to single covalent bonds to increase an organic molecule's saturation |
Which is NOT one of the reasons that carbon forms so many compounds? | ionic bonding |
Isomer | One or more compounds with the same chemical formula but different spatial arrangements |
Condensation reaction | a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, producing a small molecule such as H2O as a byproduct |
elimination reaction | a reaction in which a substituent is removed from a hydrocarbon |
alkene | a hydrocarbon with at least one double bond |
catentation | the bonding together of atoms of the same element to form covalently bonded chains or rings |
