Carbon
Organic substances must contain this element.
What is carbon?
Alkanes only contain _______ carbon to carbon bonds.
What is a single bond?
This is the prefix for a 2-carbon compound.
What is "eth-"?
This is the definition of an isomer.
What are chemicals with the same molecular formula, but different structures?
This is the branch of chemistry that specializes in the study of carbon compounds.
What is organic chemistry?
These are the only two elements present in hydrocarbons
What are carbon and hydrogen?
Alkenes contain _______ carbon to carbon bonds.
What is at least one double bond?
This is the prefix for a 4-carbon compound.
What is "but-"?
Pairs of this type of isomer are branched differently.
What are structural (or constitutional) isomers?
This is the worst type of fat to consume.
What are trans-fats?
Explanation: They stack well and your body does not know how to process them, so they deposit on artery walls.
Carbon has this many valence electrons.
What is 4 valence electrons?
This is the difference between alkenes and alkynes.
What is alkynes have at least one triple bond, while alkenes have only double and single carbon-carbon bonds?
This is the prefix for a 6-carbon compound.
What is "hexa-"?
This is the difference between cis and trans geometric isomers.
What is trans-substituted groups are on opposite sides of the double bond, while cis-substituted groups are on same side of the double bond?
Glucose and galactose react to form this compound.
What is lactose?
This scientist synthesized the first organic compound in a lab.
Who is Friedrich Wohler?
This is the simplest alkane.
What is methane (or ethane)?
This is the prefix for a 9-carbon compound?
What is "nona-"?
This is the term for molecules that are mirror images of each other.
What are enantomers?
This statement is true or false: isomers of drugs and hormones can affect your nervous system differently than the intended compound.
What is true?
Example: Methamphetamine has two isomers, d-methamphetamine and l-methamphetamine. Prescription methamphetamine (Desoxyn) is composed entirely of the d isomer. D-methamphetamine increases alertness, concentration, energy, and in high doses, can induce euphoria, enhance self-esteem, and increase libido. These traits make d-methamphetamine very attractive to a potential abuser.
l-methamphetamine affects the sympathetic nervous system but has little activity in the central nervous system, so it is not thought to possess an addiction potential anywhere near that of the d-methamphetamine isomer. Among its few physiological effects is vasoconstriction, which makes it useful for nasal decongestant.
These five everyday materials contain carbon.

What is an alkane?

What is octane?
This is the term for molecules that are locked into their spatial positions with due to a double bond or ring structure.
What are geometric isomers?
