Miscellaneous Flashcards
Isomer def
molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures (shapes)
What is the structure of hydroxyl and is it P, NP, or charged?
OH, polar
What is the structure of carbonyl and is it P, NP, or charged?
COH, and CO, polar
What is the structure of carboxyl and is it P, NP, or charged?
COOH, negative charge (polar)
What is the structure of amino and is it P, NP, or charged?
NH2, positive charge (polar)
What is the structure of sulfhydryl and is it P, NP, or charged?
SH, polar (but only slightly)
What is the structure of phosphate and is it P, NP, or charged?

Why is carbon a versatile building block for organic molecule?
It forms a lot of different structures and strong covalent bonds . ex- chains, branches, double bonds, rings
