CHEM 1020 FINAL EXAM | QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ACCURATE ANSWERS | 2026
What is a major difference between organic and inorganic compounds? - answers -
organic contain carbon
What is the reason why there are so many organic compounds? - answers - carbon
atoms can form stable covalent bonds with other carbon atoms
The vast number of organic compounds is due to the unique chemistry of carbon. This
chemistry involves - answers - formation of long chains& isomerism
Which applies to the manner in which carbon bonds in alkanes? - answers - the bonds
are formed with carbon using an sp3 configuration
Functional groups are - answers - to organic chem as polyatomic ions are to inorganic
chem, are chemically bound to each other in order to develop larger molecules
The alkanes represent one family of organic compounds - answers - that is composed
of carbon and hydrogen
Formulas of organic compounds - answers - ch3ch2cooh, ch3ch2oh,
Ch3ch3ch3
Which is an alcohol - answers - ch3ch2oh
What is meant by the term "saturated" when describing hydrocarbons - answers - they
are saturated with hydrogen and only have single bonds between carbons
Correct statements on the naming of organic compounds - answers - many compounds
have been known long enough to have common names, the naming system of organic
compounds is set by iupac rules, & the naming system requires that the longest carbon
chain must always be found
Cycloalkanes are - answers - not: compounds that have a flat molecular structure,
Saturated hydrocarbons, or compounds that cannot have hydrogens removed and
replaced by chlorine
Which of the following term applies to the alkanes - answers - hydrophobic
What is a characteristic shared by the alkanes - answers - flammable
Which of the following is a use for alkanes? - answers - a. Fuel
B. Lubricant
, C. Solvent
D. More than one is correct
Which of the following represent a saturated hyrdocarbon - answers - c2h6
All of the members of the alkane series of hydrocarbons have the general formula __ -
answers - cnh2n+2
Which of the following compounds can exhibit structural isomerism? - answers - butane
How many structural isomers are possible for compounds with a molecular formula
c4h10 - answers - 2
Which is a structural isomer of 2-methylbutane - answers - pentane
How many structural isomers of c7h16 have 5 carbon atoms in the longest carbon chain
- answers - 5
A compound is incorrectly named 2-ethyl 1-2,4 - dimethylhexane. What would be the
correct iupac name - answers - 3,3,5-trimethylheptane
A general formula for cycloalkanes is - answers - cnh2n
Which of the following cycloalkanes contains a total of 12 carbon atoms - answers - 1-
ethyl-2methylcyclononane
How many isomers (structural and geometric) exist for dibromocyclopentane (c5h8br2) -
answers - 5
How many isomers exist for dichlorocyclopropane (c3h4cl2) - answers - 3
An alkane with 10 carbon atoms is a __ @ room temp - answers - liquid
Alkanes are ___ in water and ___ than water - answers - insoluble, less dense
Complete combustion of pentane produces - answers - co2 & h2o
Alkanes react readily with - answers - not: sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric
acid
Cis-1,2 dimethylcyclohexane and trans- 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane are examples of what
type of isomers? - answers - stereoisomers & geometric isomers
You arrive home from class to find your roommate complaining of a headache,
dizziness, and nausea. Upon further investigation you believe they may have carbon
