Basic Organic Chemistry Exam
Questions With Accurate Solutions
Rated A+
organic chemistry - ANSWER-study of chemical properties of carbon based molecules
hydrocarbons - ANSWER-molecules that have hydrogen and carbon
basic organic chemistry - ANSWER-molecules that have carbon
Why carbon is important - ANSWER-1. carbons valence electrons - branch off in 4
separate directions; makes it a good backbone 2. position of valence orbitals can serve
to shape many molecules - allows you to have different shapes 3. can form multiple
bonds (depends on type)
isomers - ANSWER-molecules that have the same molecular formula but different
structure
functional groups - ANSWER-properties of the organic molecule that stems off the
backbone and atoms from carbon skeleton - they are involved in reactions
hydroxyl group - ANSWER-hydrogen atom bond to an oxygen atom - called alcohols
carbonyl - ANSWER-carbon atom bond to an oxygen atom by a double bond - end of
chain = aldehyde - found in the middle = ketone (not 1st, not last)
carboxyl group - ANSWER-oxygen atom double bonded to a carbon atom; bound also
to hydroxyl group - called carboxylic acids *source of protons
amino group - ANSWER-a nitrogen atom bonded to 2 hydrogen atoms - acts as a base,
amines - only have amino group, amino acids - are combo of carboxyl and amino group
