Structures
Give an example of a saturated hydrocarbon
Any alkane
what is the polarity state of alkanes?
Non polar
What is hydration?
The addition of water.
What is structural isomerism?
Same molecular formula but atoms are arranged differently.
Name a chemical you can use to distinguish between an alkane and an alkene.
Bromine water.
Any Alkene or alkyne
Whats is the conductivity state of hydrocarbons?
Non conductive.
What is hydrogenation?
The addition of hydrogen.
Name a structural isomer of propan-1-ol.
Propan-2-ol
name an observation from a reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium.
Bubbles due to gas production (hydrogen)
Name the organic family that has a hydroxyl group attached to one of the carbons on the chain.
Alcohols
Why are hydrocarbons non conductive?
because they contain no free moving electrons or ions.
What organic product is usually formed from an elimination reaction?
Alkene.
Name a geometric isomer of: cis-1,2-dibromoethene.
Trans-1,2-dibromoethene.
Name the products and an observation of a reaction between, propanoic acid and magnesium carbonate.
Magnesium propanoate, carbon dioxide and water. and the observation is bubbling die to the production of carbon dioxide gas.
Name the organic Families that can be classified as, primary, secondary and tertiary.
Alcohols, haloalkanes and Amines
At room temperature,what state are: ethene, propene and butene?
Gases.
What is addition polymerisation?
The joining together of small organic molecules by covalent bond into a very large molecule.
What is geometric Isomerism?
molecules with the same molecular formula but the arrangement of their atoms in space is different.
State how you would use a neutral litmus paper to distinguish between ethanoic acid and ethanamine.
Litmus will turn red in ethanoic acid, and blue in the ethanamine.
What functional group does a benzene ring have?
Alkene
Two monomers can join together to form a polymer, in the presence of what (conditions)?
Catalyst, high temperatures and pressure.
Name 2 common reagent required for oxidation reactions.
Potassium permanganate, and potassium dichromate.
State the conditions required for geometric isomerism.
1) a double bond c=c.
2) the two groups (atoms) attached to each carbon of the c=c must be different.
State how you can use water to distinguish between ethene and ethanol.
