Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

empirical formula

Back (Answer)

simplest whole number ratio of atoms of an element in a compound

#2
Front (Question)

molecular formula

Back (Answer)

the actual number of each atom of an element in a compound

#3
Front (Question)

structural formula

Back (Answer)

minimal detail showing arrangement of atoms in a molecule

#4
Front (Question)

displayed formula

Back (Answer)

all the atoms and cov. bonds present in a molecule

#5
Front (Question)

skeletal formula

Back (Answer)

simplified organic formula showing on carbon skeleton and functional groups

#6
Front (Question)

side groups

Back (Answer)

alkyl groups branching off the main c chain. you need numbers to indicate the position

#7
Front (Question)

homologous series

Back (Answer)

a series of compounds containing the same functional group. they have: - the same chemical properties and - a trend in physical properties - they increase by a ch2 group every time - they have the same gen formula

#8
Front (Question)

functional group of alkenes alcohols haloalkanes aldehydes

Back (Answer)

C=C C-OH C-X C=O and a H on the C too lol (in formula it’s CHO

#9
Front (Question)

functional group of ketones c acids nitriles amines

Back (Answer)

C=O COOH C triple bond N C-NH2

#10
Front (Question)

priority order for naming when there’s >1 f group

Back (Answer)

c acids aldehyde ketones alcohols alkenes haloalkanes f group with higher precedence takes the suffix and the lowest C in chain. if an alkene was also with a c acid since c acid takes suffix it becomes eg butenoic acid (-en-)

#11
Front (Question)

if the suffix (f group) begins with a vowel then

Back (Answer)

take the e off stem alkane eg butane alcohol butanol

#12
Front (Question)

if suffix starts w consonant (give eg) then

Back (Answer)

keep the -e on the alkane stem dioic acid nitrile diol eg hexane diol hexane-2,3-diol

#13
Front (Question)

structural isomerism 3 types

Back (Answer)

same molecular formula but different structural formula • chain • position • f group

#14
Front (Question)

chain isomerism

Back (Answer)

same m formula diff structures of c skeleton / chain length

#15
Front (Question)

position isomerism

Back (Answer)

same m formula different position of same f group on same c skeleton

#16
Front (Question)

functional group isomerism

Back (Answer)

same m formula, atoms arranged into diff f groups

#17
Front (Question)

isomerism -> structural (chain, f group, position) // stereoisomerism the 2 types of stereoisomerism

Back (Answer)

same m/s formula different 3d spatial arrangements of atoms geometric + (optical but that’s a level) optical - molecules have the same molecular formula but a different spatial arrangement of atoms in space. It occurs when there is an asymmetrical carbon within an organic molecule known as a chiral centre. Chiral carbons have four different groups bonded to them

#18
Front (Question)

what effect can geometric stereoisomerism have

Back (Answer)

on physical properties bc molecule can be polar or not due to the atomic arrangement. so could have D-D IMF making forces maintaining m/BP higher

#19
Front (Question)

f group structural isomerism pairs

Back (Answer)

alkenes and cycloalkanes aldehydes and ketones alcohols and ethers (f group C-O-C) c acids and esters (f group r-c double bond o, o-r)

#20
Front (Question)

what f group shows geometric isomerism? why?

Back (Answer)

alkenes that have 2 diff atom groups on each C C=C has limited rotation so atoms are arranged differently in space

#21
Front (Question)

how is an isomer E or Z how determine this?

Back (Answer)

priority groups are opposite for E , on the same side for Z determine using cahn-ingold-prelog rules: 1. look at atomic numbers on atoms attached to C in C=C 2. you’re comparing groups on same C against each other. Therefore consider groups joined to rhs or lhs c in c=c 3. no totalling 4. winner gets priority 1. The atom with the highest atomic number is (state which) so the (state which) group takes priority 5. If Both groups contain carbon (to say, the same atom as first consideration) you consider atoms 1 bond further away 6. Evaluate their atomic number: The atom with the highest atomic number is (state which) so the (state which) group takes priority 5. priority 1s on same side -> Z

#22
Front (Question)

reactions of organic compounds can be explained using

Back (Answer)

mechanisms

#23
Front (Question)

Iupac stands for

Back (Answer)

International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry

#24
Front (Question)

FULL IUPAC includes

Back (Answer)

Stereoisomer demarcation if geometric - e or Z
