Guideline Definitions

Question 1

Molecular formula

Answer 1

A chemical formula that indicates the element and numbers of ensure the atoms in a molecule

Question 2

Structural formula

Answer 2

A structural formula of a compound shows which atoms are attached to which within the molecule atoms are represented by the alchemical symbols and lines are used to represent all the bonds that hold the atoms together

Question 3

Condensed structural formula

Answer 3

These notations shows the way in which atoms are bonded together in the molecule but does not show all the Bond lines

Question 4

Hydrocarbon

Answer 4

Organic compounds that consist of hydrogen and carbon only

Question 5

Homologous series

Answer 5

A series of organic compounds that can be described by the same general formula or in which one member differs from the next with a CH² group

Compounds in which there are no multiple bonds between c atoms in their hydrocarbon chains

Question 7

Unsaturated compounds

Answer 7

Compose with one or more multiple bonds between c atoms in their height of carbon chains

Question 8

Functional group

Answer 8

A bond or an atom or a group of atoms that determines the physical and chemical properties of a group of organic compounds
