Question
Answer
What is a chloroalkane?   A compound in which one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane molecule have been replaced by chlorine atoms  
🗑
What is a functional group?   An atom or group of atoms which is responsible for the characteristic properties of an organic compound or a series of organic compounds  
🗑
What is a primary alcohol?   An alcohol where the carbon atom joined to the hydroxyl group is attached to only one other carbon atom  
🗑
What is a secondary alcohol?   An alcohol where the carbon atom joined to the hydroxyl group is attached to two other carbon atoms  
🗑
What is a tertiary alcohol?   An alcohol where the carbon atom joined to the hydroxyl group is attached to three other carbon atoms  
🗑
What is the polar part of an alcohol?   The hydroxyl group  
🗑
Why are the boiling points of alcohols higher than alkanes?   Hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules is stronger than the van der vaal forces between alkanes  
🗑
What is an aldehyde?   An organic compound containing the group —CHO, formed by the oxidation of alcohols.  
🗑
Name the prefixes in order pf increasing number of carbon atoms   Meth, eth, prop, but, pent, hex, hept, oct  
🗑
What is a carbonyl group?   A carbon oxygen double bond  
🗑
What are the forces of attraction between aldehyde molecules?   Permanent dipole-dipole interations  
🗑
Name an aldehyde   Benzaldehyde  
🗑
Why are aldehydes very watersoluble?   Because of the hydrogen bonding between the oxygen atom in the carbonyl group and the hydrogen atom in a water molecule  
🗑
What are ketones?   A series of organic compounds containing the >C=O group  
🗑
What kind of bonding occurs in ketones?   Dipole-dipole  
🗑
Name a ketone   Propanone  
🗑
What are carboxylic acids?   Carboxylic acids are a homologous series in which the compounds contain a functional group called the carboxyl group (-COOH)  
🗑
What is the general formula for carboxylic acids?   CnH2n+1COOH  
🗑
What kind of bonding occurs in carboxylic acid?   Hydrogen bonding  
🗑
What is an ester?   A family of compounds with the general formula RCOOR'  
🗑
How are esters formed?   By replacing the hydroxyl group of a carboxylic acid with an alkyl group  
🗑
What kind of reaction forms an ester?   Condensation  
🗑
What is a condensation reaction?   A reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, producing a small molecule such as H2O as a by-product.  
🗑
