Question
Answer
Alkane?   hydrocarbon containing only single bonds  
🗑
Full structural formula?   diagram which shows every bond in an organic chemical  
🗑
Shortened structural formula?   Shows the bonds between carbon atoms and shortens organic groups to CH3 / CH2  
🗑
Skeletal formula?   Contains only lines showing the carbon skeleton of the molecule only.  
🗑
Name of the shape which describes an alkane?   tetrahedral  
🗑
Bond angle in alkanes?   109  
🗑
Complete combustion of alkanes?   makes carbon dioxide and water  
🗑
Incomplete combustion of alkanes?   makes carbon monoxide and water  
🗑
Isomerisation?   makes a new chemical with the same molecular formula as the starting material, but is now branched.  
🗑
Reforming?   forms cyclic alkanes from straight chain alkanes. Product has the same number of carbons as the starting material but has lost hydrogen  
🗑
Cracking?   Splits long chain alkanes into smaller molecules - some branched, some alkenes  
🗑
Alkenes?   Contain C=C  
🗑
Arenes?   Contain a ring of 6 carbon atoms with alternating double bonds  
🗑
alcohols?   contain an OH group  
🗑
describe how to name an alkane?   1) identify the longest carbon chain and name it, 2) identify side chains and name them, 3) give the lowest number possible to identify the position of the sidechain. e.g. 2-methylbutane  
🗑
What are the prefixes used to describe something containing 1 - 10 carbon atoms?   meth, eth, prop, but, pent, hex, hept, oct, non, dec.  
🗑
describe how to name an alcohol?   1) identify the longest carbon chain and name it, 2) identify side chains and name them, 3) give the lowest number possible to identify the position of the sidechain, 4) number the alcohol group to give it the lowest number e.g. 2-methylbutan-1-ol  
🗑
What is an ether?   contains an oxygen atom between 2 carbon atoms  
🗑
