CHEM 219 Module 1 Exam
Organic chemistry - answer the study of all chemicals containing carbon
Catenation - answer the process or preference of an element to bond with another atom
of the same element
Valence - answer the number of bonds an atom will form to fill its outermost shell
ionic bond - answer Formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom
to another
covalent bond - answer A chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons
between atoms in a molecule
diatomic elements - answer molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same
elements
polar covalent bond - answer A covalent bond in which electrons are not shared equally
bond order - answer the number of bonds between atoms
Unsaturated compound - answerA compound in which there is at least one double
and/or triple bond between carbon atoms
molecular formula - answerConveys the number and type of different atoms present in a
compound
structural formula - answerConveys the number and type of different atoms present in a
compound and also shows a pattern of connectivity between the atoms in the molecule
isomers - answerMolecules that have the same number and type of atoms of different
arrangements of the atoms
Constitutional or structural isomer - answerCompounds with the same molecular
formula that have different connectivity between the atoms in their structural formula
branched chains - answerSmaller chains of carbon that sprout from the longest chains
rings (cyclic chains) - answerEnds of a carbon chain connected to each other
heteroatoms - answerAtoms other than carbon or hydrogen bonded in or to the carbon
skeleton at various positions
