24
formula of ketone suffix, prefix
C-C=O-C / -ONE
25
saturated and unsaturated hydRocarbons
saturated= no double bond / unsaturated=double bond (less hydrogen atoms)
26
Different types of formulas
Empirical, skeletal, displayed, structural, general,molecular
27
structural formula
minimum detail for the arrangement of atoms in compounds
28
empirical formula
smallest number ratio of atoms in a compound
29
molercular formula
shows the numbers and types of atoms in a compound
30
skeletal formula
briefest way of representing organic molecules
31
isomers definition
atoms of elements with same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
32
structural isomers
same molecular formula but different structural formula
33
stereoisomers
isomers with same structural formula and same molecular formula but different arrangement
34
E/Z isomerism
type of stereo isomerism, must have a C=C bond and both carbon atoms attached to different groups.
35
cis-trans isomerism
type of E/Z isomerism-two substituents on the carbon atoms are the same
36
when homolytiuc fission occurs?
when a covalent bond breaks and both electrons go to a different bonded atom
37
when heterolytic fission occurs?
when a covalent bond breaks and both electrons go to the same bonded atom
38
what does homolytic fission create
two reactive species called radicals form
39
what does heterolytic fission create
results in a positive ion and a negative ion
40
whatr bond is formed when two radicals collide?
covalent bond
41
what are radicals?
species with one or more unpaired electrons
42
boiling points ofalkanes
High boiling points but small range-derived from crude oil
43
branched molecules have fewer ..... to ..... attractions compared to straight chain isomerism
induced dipole to dipole
44
do branched molecules have a lower boiling point then straight chains
yes! this is due to them having fewer induced dipole-dipole interactions
45
what is bond enthalpy?
amount of energy needed
46
why do alkanes have a low reactivity with many reagants (2 reasons)
47
products of complete combustion of alkanes?
co2,h20
48
products of incomplete combustion of alkanes?
CO
49
what is free radical substitution
alkanes react with UV light in the presence of chlorine or bromine
50
when is free radical substitution ?
When you have an alkane and want to make a halogenalkane, a halogen replaces the H atom
51
what is FRS used to make, and from what?
from alkanes to halogenalkanes
52
negatives of free radical substitution
other organic molecules can be made and further substitution can occur
53
what does initiation mean?
starting stage
54
what does propagation mean
middle stage
55
what does termination mean
final stage
56
starter info of alkenes
form homologous series, unsaturated hydrocarbons, formula CnH2n
57
shapes of alkene molecules
each member of a carbon atom has three areas of density around them- each electron density repels by the same amount forming bond angles of 120. And Trigonal planar shape
58
bonding in alkenes
The C-H bonds are sigma bonds, a double C=C covalent bond makes a sigma bond and a PI bond forms from overlapping p-orbitals above and below the carbon atoms
59
how is a sigma bond formed
from the overlap of covalent bonds of electrons
60
why are alkenes more reactive than alkanes
Double bond
61
what are nucleophiles
electron acceptors
62
what are electrophiles
electron donators
63
what do curly arrows represent
the movement/transfer of a bonded pair of electrons
64
what happens in an elecvtrophilic addition reaction
64
difference between nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic addition
65
why does hydrogenation happen and what changes into what
66
what is hydrogenation
67
what are the conditions needed in hydrogenation
68
what happens in halogenation
68
what is halogenation
69
what type of reaction is a halogenation
70
what catalyst is most likely used
71
what does an alkene change into
72
what is a hydration reaction
73
what is a hydration reaction between
74
conditions of hydration reactions?
75
what catalyst is used?
76
how are haloalkanes formed
77
T OR F atleast one hydrogen atoms is replaced by a halogen atom
