what do you call hydrocarbons with a halogen? (2 possible answers!)
alkyl halide
haloalkane
The hydroxyl (-OH, oxygen bonded to hydrogen) belongs to what functional group?
Alcohol
What are the hydrocarbons separated by in fractional distillation?
boiling points
As chain length increases in hydrocarbons, boiling point…
increases
What is the polarity of water? (Polar or non polar?)
Polar
hept- is the prefix for how many carbons?
7
A double bonded oxygen (=O) in the middle of a hydrocarbon belongs to what functional group?
Ketone
The temperature at the top of the fractionating column is…
cool
Alkanes have _________ boiling points than alkenes
Higher
What is the polarity of ALL hydrocarbons?
non polar
When numbering carbon chains, the substituents (the things attached to the chain) should have ______ numbers
low
‘oxy’ is in the name of what functional group?
ether
Which compound would exit lower in the fractionating column: gasoline or lubricating oil?
lubricating oil
Of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, which have the highest boiling point?
alkynes
Polarity is due to ______ on The atoms
(Partial) charges
If there are 2 ethyl groups attached to a carbon, how do we name this substituent?
diethyl
what functional group has a double bonded oxygen and a hydrogen at the end of the compound?
Aldehyde
What are the products of cracking?
a shorter alkane and an alkene
What chemical property makes hydrocarbons good fuels?
flammability
A symmetrical atom (the same on both sides when you slit in half) is….
non polar
The first step of naming the structure of an organic compound is…
find the longest carbon chain
What functional group has a double bonded oxygen (=O) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the end of the compound?
carboxylic acid
What is the purpose of cracking?
To produce shorter alkanes (much more useful!)
“________ dissolves ________”
like
Is hexane soluble in water?
No… he an is a hydrocarbon (non polar) and water is polar. Polar and non polar do not mix.
