- Ethers (ROR)
- Alkyl Halides (RX X=F, Cl, Br, I)
- Thiols (RSH)
Alcohols contain a ______ group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
Hydroxyl (OH) group
Ethers have two _____ groups bonded to an oxygen atom.
Alkyl
Alkyl halides contain a _____ atom bonded to tetrahedral carbon.
Halogen including F, Cl, Br or I
Thiols contain a _____ group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom.
Sulfhydryl (SH)
Sulfur Hyrdrogen
This alcohol has an OH group on a carbon bonded to one other carbon.
Primary alcohol
This alcohol has an OH group on a carbon bonded to two other carbons.
Secondary alcohol
This alcohol has an OH group on a carbon bonded to three other carbons.
Tertiary alcohol
Because oxyge is more electronegative than carbon it hydrogen the C-O and C-H bonds are ____
Polar
Because alcohols have 2 polar bonds and a bent shape, it has a net______.
Dipole
