Question
Answer
Hydrocarbons, as the name implies, are compounds whose molecules contain:   Carbon and Hydrogen  
🗑
Carbon characteristic of alkanes   Carbon-carbon bonds are singular  
🗑
Hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon double bond   Alkenes  
🗑
Hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon triple bond   Alkynes  
🗑
Def. of cycloalkanes   Alkanes in which all or some of the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring  
🗑
A cycloalkane containing a single ring have ____ _____ hydrogen atoms than regular alkanes   Two fewer  
🗑
This alkane makes up 80% of our natural gas   Methane  
🗑
What is the bond angle of ALL alkanes?   109.5 degrees  
🗑
What is the geometry of ALL alkanes?   Tetrahedral  
🗑
Hybridization of ALL alkanes?   sp3  
🗑
Are alkanes saturated or unsaturated compounds? and why?   Saturated, because they are single bonds. They contain the most hydrogens thatthey are able to possess.  
🗑
What alkane makes up 20% of our natural gas?   Ethane  
🗑
Name for alkane that can have different structures while having the same formula:   constitutional isomers  
🗑
Alkane (minus) Hydrogen =   Alkyl (change -ane to -yl)  
🗑
Four halogens found in alkylhalides:   F- fluoro; Cl- chloro; Br- bromo; I- iodo  
🗑
Hydrocarbons have high or low melting and boiling points?   Low (Van der Waals forces)  
🗑
Alkylhalides - MP and BP compared to hydrocarbons?   Slightly higher  
🗑
Solubility of hydrocarbons   Not soluble in H20  
🗑
Solubility of alkylhalides   Slightly soluble in H20  
🗑
Name of hydrocarbon involved in communication   Communication  
🗑
Name of hydrocarbon described as a "sex attractant".   Undecane  
🗑
The ONLY drinkable alcohol:   I: Ethanol (C: Ethyl alcohol)  
🗑
T/F - Alcohol is an alkane.   False  
🗑
Wood alcohol is what type of alcohol?   Methanol  
🗑
What makes up denatured alcohol?   Ethanol mixed with methanol  
🗑
Uses for methanol:   Fuel for high-performance cars and race cars  
🗑
How does methanol burn?   Intense yet unnoticeable light blue flame  
🗑
Alternative name for methanol:   Wood alcohol  
🗑
Alpha carbons are connected to ____   OH  
🗑
Beta carbons are attached to ___   Alpha carbon  
🗑
Primary (1º) atom characteristic:   One beta carbon connected to alpha carbon  
🗑
Secondary (2º) atom characteristic:   Two beta carbons connected to alpha carbon  
🗑
Tertiary (3º) atom characteristic:   Three beta carbons connected to alpha carbon  
🗑
Stereoisomers - characteristic   Same structures, different arrangement in space. trans/cist  
🗑
Trans =   Across  
🗑
Cist =   Boat-shaped  
🗑
Cist & trans are meant for all ______   Non-1-alkenes  
🗑
Solubility of alcohol   Soluble in H2O up to 6 carbons  
🗑
Properties of alcohol   High MP & BP (hydrogen bonds)  
🗑
What type of alkane is most stable hydrocarbon?   Cycloalkanes  
🗑
The most stable cycloalkane:   Cyclohexane  
🗑
Most stable sawhorse structure   Chair configuration  
🗑
Least stable sawhorse structure   Boat configuration  
🗑
All cycloalkanes want what angle?   109.5º  
🗑
Cyclopropane gets what BA?   60º  
🗑
Cyclobutane gets what BA?   90º  
🗑
Cyclopentane gets what BA?   108º  
🗑
How do you calculate Angle Strain?   Ideal angle (109.5º) - Actual Angle = Angle Strain  
🗑
When the actual angle goes beyond 360º, you add ______ for each side.   180º  
🗑
When the number of sides is higher than 6, the angle _______ __ ______ and hydrogens overlap, getting in the way.   Remain at 109.5º  
🗑
What results from a cycloalkane containing more than 6 sides?   Stearic hindrance  
🗑
