#1
Front (Question)

structural formula

Back (Answer)

representation of molecule showing how many atoms are bonded to each other

#2
Front (Question)

full structural formula

Back (Answer)

shows every bond and atom

#3
Front (Question)

condensed structural formula

Back (Answer)

often omits bonds where they are assumed and groups atoms together minimum information required to describe molecule non-ambiguously

stereochemical formula

Back (Answer)

show relative positions of atoms and groups around carbon in 3D

Front (Question)

How do you show bonds sticking forwards?

Back (Answer)

solid, enlarging wedge

Back (Answer)

pentyl

#19
Front (Question)

6 carbons in chain

Back (Answer)

hexyl

#20
Front (Question)

what do you add to chain suffix?

Back (Answer)

prefix that shows how many chains there are in the molecule - di, tri, tetra

#21
Front (Question)

How do you show where the carbon chains are attached?

Back (Answer)

number of carbon atom next to it so that numbers add up to smallest of all possibilities

#22
Front (Question)

structural isomer

Back (Answer)

molecules that have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of the atoms

#23
Front (Question)

As the size of the molecule increases, the number of isomers —

Back (Answer)

increases

#24
Front (Question)

trend in melting and boiling points for group 17 and 18

Back (Answer)

melting/boiling points increase down group because as size of molecules increases so does van der Waals forces
