#1
Front (Question)

Hydrocarbon compounds

Back (Answer)

Composed of just hydrogen and carbon

#2
Front (Question)

Alkanes

Back (Answer)

Contains a single bond saturated

#3
Front (Question)

What is the suffix of alkane?

Back (Answer)

-ane

#4
Front (Question)

What are the prefixes of alkanes?

Back (Answer)

meth eth prop but pent hex hept oct non dec

#5
Front (Question)

Isopropyl

Back (Answer)

A 3 carbon alkyl substituent attached to a molecule

#6
Front (Question)

Sec-butyl

Back (Answer)

A 4 carbon group attached by 2nd carbon

#7
Front (Question)

isobutyl

Back (Answer)

3 carbon attached to a carbon then another, then branches

#8
Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

4 carbons with 3 methyl groups attached to a central carbon

#9
Front (Question)

What are the least to most stable cycloalkanes?

Back (Answer)

cyclopropane

#10
Front (Question)

Are the melting and boiling points of hydrocarbons low or high?

Back (Answer)

Low because the bonds between hydrogen and carbon are not polar (branched is lower because they do not stack well)

#11
Front (Question)

What bonds hold hydrocarbons?

Back (Answer)

London dispersion forces (weak)

#12
Front (Question)

Alkyl halides

Back (Answer)

Contain at least one halogen substituent and are very reactive because halogens are a great leaving group

#13
Front (Question)

Alkenes

Back (Answer)

At least one double bonds suffix: -ene

#14
Front (Question)

Alkynes

Back (Answer)

Have at least one triple bond suffix: -yne

#15
Front (Question)

Conjugated system

Back (Answer)

More stable

#16
Front (Question)

Redox reactions

Back (Answer)

Hydrogenation reduces alkenes to alkanes
