Question
Answer
Organic Compounds   Contain C, H & sometimes other elements O, N, Halogens, P, S  
🗑
C always has how many covelant bonds   4 - 4 single, 1 single/1 triple, 2 single/1 double, 2 doubles  
🗑
H is ALWAYS   TERMINAL!  
🗑
Tetrahedral bond angle   109.5  
🗑
A C atome in a molecule can be bonded to how many other atoms?   2, 3, or 4  
🗑
Bond angle of C and 2 atoms?   Linear 180  
🗑
Bond angle of C and 3 atoms?   Triangular planar 120  
🗑
Bond angle of C and 4 atoms?   Tetrahedral 109.5  
🗑
C-H bond is polar or nonpolar?   Nonpolar  
🗑
Elecronegativity   C-F>C-O>C-N; F>O>N~Cl>C~H  
🗑
The polarity of a molecule is determined by?   Polarity of the bonds AND the symmetry of the molecule  
🗑
To be polar, a molecule must contain what?   At least 1 polar bond AND be assymetrical (different around the center = polar)  
🗑
Properties of Organic Compounds:   Covelant Bonds, Low MP & BP, Flammable, Low solubility in H20 (depend on size & polarity), Weak or Nonelectrolytes  
🗑
Properties of Inorganic Compounds   Ionic &/or Covelant, some very high MP & BP, not flammable, most soluble in H2O, strong or weak electrolytes  
🗑
Characteristics of Functional Groups:   Cmpds within same functional group undergo similar rxns. Organic cmpds classified/identified by their functional group  
🗑
Alkanes   A. Saturated hydrocarbons (no more H) B. All C-C single bonds C. Unreactive except flammable  
🗑
Hydrocarbon   Contains only H & C - HC  
🗑
Alkenes   A. Contain 1+ C=C B. Unsaturated HCs C. More reactive than Alkanes  
🗑
Alkynes   A. Contain 1+ C=_C (triple bond) B. Unsaturated C. Reactive  
🗑
Alcohols & Ethers   contain O - all single bonds. H-O-H or C-O-C  
🗑
Alcohol   Contain OH: C-OH  
🗑
Ethers   Contain C-O-C  
🗑
Aldehydes & Ketones   Contain a Carbonyl group C=O  
🗑
Aldehyde   H-C=O  
🗑
Ketones   Carbonyl group (C=O) between C atoms  
🗑
Carboxylic Acid   Carboxyl group (C=O - OH)  
🗑
Ester   Carboxyl group with -H replaced by a C (C=O - O - C)  
🗑
Acids & Esters   Contain a carboxyl group  
🗑
Amines   Amines are NH3 - H substituted with a C (CH3 - NH2)  
🗑
Amide   Carbonyl Group bonded to a N (C=O - N)  
🗑
Isomerism   Cmpds have same molecular formula but differ in their structural formulas  
🗑
Structural Isomer   Differ in the SEQUENCE of the atoms - as the # of atoms in a molecule increases the # of structural isomers increases  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
