Question
Answer
What is an alcohol?   An organic compound that contains the hydroxyl group (-OH).  
🗑
What do ethers contain?   Two alkyl groups bonded to an oxygen atom. They have no O-H hydrogens, so they can't hydrogen bond with themselves.  
🗑
What is the carbonyl group?   A carbon double-bonded to an oxygen.  
🗑
What do ketones contain?   Two alkyl groups bonded to the carbonyl group.  
🗑
What do aldehydes contain?   One alkyl group and a hydrogen atom bonded to the carbonyl group.  
🗑
What is a main difference between nomenclature of aldehydes and ketones?   Ketones generally have the -one suffix, and aldehydes have either the -al or the -aldehyde suffix.  
🗑
What do carboxylic acids contain?   The carboxyl group, or -COOH.  
🗑
What is the carboxyl group composed of?   A carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group.  
🗑
What is the systematic naming convention for carboxylic acids?   The "-oic acid" suffix.  
🗑
What are the carboxylic acid derivatives?   Acid chlorides, esters and amides.  
🗑
What is an acid chloride?   A carboxylic acid derivative where Cl is in place of the hydroxyl group bonded to the carbonyl group.  
🗑
What is an ester?   A carboxylic acid derivative where an alkyl group replaces the acid proton in the hydroxyl group.  
🗑
What is an amine?   An alkylated derivative of ammonia.  
🗑
What is an amide?   A carboxylic acid derivative that has ammonia or an amine in place of the hydroxyl group.  
🗑
Describe how hydrogen bonding can occur with amides.   One of the hydrogens from the highly polarized N-H bond will bond with the carbonyl oxygen that carries a partial negative charge as a result of resonance polarization.  
🗑
What does a nitrile contain?   The cyano group, or -C(triblebond)N.  
🗑
What are the two types of isomers?   Constitutional isomers and stereoisomers.  
🗑
What is another name for constitutional isomers?   Structural isomers.  
🗑
What is the difference between constitutional and stereoisomers?   Constitutional isomers have atoms connected to different atoms, and stereoisomers are connected to the same atoms, just oriented differently in space.  
🗑
