Organic 2

Question 1

structural formula

Answer 1

shows how molecules are arranged

Question 2

displayed formula

Answer 2

shows every atom and every bond

Question 3

homologous series

Answer 3

a group of compounds with:
- same functional group
- similar chemical properties
- trend in physical properties
- same general formula
e.g. alkanes

Question 4

functional group

Answer 4

reactive part of a compound, atom/s that provide compound with its chemical properties

Question 5

isomer

Answer 5

molecules with same molecular formula but different structural/displayed formula

Question 6

alkanes

Answer 6

saturated hydrocarbons
no carbon double bonds
CnH2n+2
will only react with bromine water in UV light

Question 7

alkenes

Answer 7

unsaturated hydrocarbons
carbon double bonds
CnH2n
will always react with bromine water, will turn from orange to colourless

Question 8

substitution reaction

Answer 8

something in original molecule is replaced with something else

Question 9

addition reaction

Answer 9

something is added to the starting molecule, only 1 product formed

Question 10

addition polymerisation

Answer 10

many monomers (alkenes) bond together to form a long chain polymer, the double bond opens, so it can bond to other molecules, only 1 product formed
