Functional Groups
This functional group contains only single bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms.
What is an alkane?
In this reaction, one hydrogen atom in an saturated compound is replaced with a halogen atom like chlorine or bromine.
What is substitution ?
This compound has the formula CH₄ and is the simplest hydrocarbon.
What is methane?
These compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
What is an isomer?
This particle has no charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.
What is a neutron?
The –OH group is the defining feature of this functional group.
What is an alcohol?
When bromine is added to ethene, the double bond breaks and each carbon gets a bromine atom.
What is an addition reaction?
This compound contains the –OH functional group and has the formula C₂H₅OH.
What is ethanol?
These two compounds both have the formula C₄H₁₀, but one is straight-chained and the other is branched.
What are butane and 2-methylpropane?
Elements in the same group on the Periodic Table have the same number of these.
What are valence electrons?
This functional group contains a carbon double bonded to an oxygen atom and single bonded to an –OH group.
What is a carboxylic acid?
In this reaction, glucose is converted by yeast into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
What is fermentation?
This organic acid has the formula CH₃COOH and gives vinegar its sour taste.
What is ethnoic acid ? (Acetic acid)
Which formula can help you identify an isomer?
What is a structural formula ?
Melting ice is an example of this type of change because no new substance is formed.
What is a physical change?
This functional group includes a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more alkyl groups. It’s commonly found in proteins.
What is an amine?
This reaction occurs when a fat reacts with a strong base to produce soap and glycerol.
What is saponification?
This compound is a halogenated alkane where one hydrogen in methane is replaced by a chlorine atom.
What is chloromethane?
The difference between butane and 2-methylpropane is that one is straight-chained and the other is what kind of structure?
What is a branched structure?
This type of bond forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
What is an ionic bond?
This functional group gives ethyl propanoate its name.
What is an ester?
This process breaks large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more useful ones, often involving heat and a catalyst.
What is cracking ?
(ya nasty)
This ester is formed from ethanol and acetic acid and is commonly used as a solvent in nail polish remover.
What is ethyl acetate?
Can an alkane have an isomer that is an alkyne or alkene?
What is no?
Finish this synthesis reaction:This type of mixture has particles that are evenly distributed and cannot be seen separately, like salt dissolved in water.
What is a homogeneous mixture (solution)
