Chapter 10: HBns Derivatives, organic rxns, and petrochemicals: Flashcards
(87 cards)
What is a hydrocarbon derivative?
Molecular compounds of carbon, usually hydrogen, and at least one other element.
What are organic halides?
Organic compounds in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by halogen (group 17) atoms. The functional group for organic halides is the halogen atom.
What is a functional group?
A characteristic arrangement of atoms within a molecule that determines the most important chemical and physical properties of a class of compounds.
What should you do as you read through textbook, d2l notes, worksheets, watch videos, AND STUDY/FIX LABS?
Improve your notes.
What are addition reactions?
A type of organic reaction of unsaturated hydrocarbons in which a small molecule is added to the double or triple bond. Usually happens in the presence of a catalyst.
What is a substitution reaction?
An organic reaction that involve breaking a carbon-hydrogen bond in an alkane or aromatic ring and replacing the hydrogen atom with another atom or group of atoms. These rxns occur slowly at room temperature because they lack E (remember that saturated compounds and aromatics are more stable, and don’t tend to react easily with small diatomics unlike alkenes/ynes). Electromagnetic radiation (light) is often necessary for substitution rxns to occur at a noticeable rate.
What are the properties of Organic Halides in terms of polarity?
They may be polar or nonpolar, or have a nonpolar (hydrocarbon) end and a polar (halide) end. Have higher boiling points than similar hydrocarbons. Have very low solubility in water but higher solubility (especially for small molecules) than similar hydrocarbons. Are typically good solvents for organic materials such as fats, oils, waxes, gums, resins, and rubber.
What is an alcohol?
An organic compound containing one or more hydroxyl (-OH) group as the functional group.
What is a primary (1^o) alcohol?
The carbon atom carrying the -OH group is bonded to one other carbon atom.
What is a secondary (2^o) alcohol?
The carbon atom carrying the -OH group is bonded to two other carbon atoms.
What is a tertiary (3^o) alcohol?
The carbon atom carrying the -OH group is bonded to three other carbon atoms.
What are polyalcohols?
Alcohols that contain more than one hydroxyl group.
What is an elimination reaction?
An organic reaction that involves the removal of atoms and/or groups of atoms from adjacent carbon atoms in an organic molecule (ex:Removal of H2O from an alcohol/dehydration).
What is Dehydrohalogenation?
An elimination reaction that involves the removal of hydrogen and halogen atoms. The reaction involves hydroxide (OH-) being added to an organic halide, and an alkene, water, and a halogen ION are the products.
What is the photosynthesis reaction?
6CO2 + 6H20 + (light E) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 . How?
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O.
What should you remember to do during summer?
STUDY Bio 20/30, and review things from classes you’re going to take.
What are carboxylic acids?
An organic compound that contains the carboxyl group (-COOH) as the functional group.
What is a condensation reaction?
An organic reaction in which two smaller molecules (one of which is usually? a carboxylic acid) combine to form a larger molecule, along with a small molecule such as water.
What is an ester?
A family of organic compounds characterized by the ester functional group (-COO-), formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
What is an esterification reaction?
A condensation reaction in which a carboxylic acid and an alcohol combine to produce an ester and water.
What is a polymer?
A large molecule made by linking together many smaller molecules called monomers.
What is a monomer?
A small molecule that links with many other similar molecules, in an addition or a condensation reaction, to form a polymer.
What is polymerization?
The formation of polymers from the reaction of monomer sub-units.
