#2
Front (Question)

Hexane

Back (Answer)

C6H14 6 carbons

#3
Front (Question)

Naming a carboxylic acid

Back (Answer)

add the suffix “oic acid” to the parent name

#4
Front (Question)

Many anesthetic gases are ___________ ethers.

Back (Answer)

halogenated

#5
Front (Question)

Ethyl group

Back (Answer)

C2H5 *not stable, missing a bond*

#6
Front (Question)

Removing a hydrogen from an alkane leaves an…

Back (Answer)

Alkyl In place of the missing H, alkyls will bond to something else Name by replacing “ane” with “yl”

#7
Front (Question)

Two anesthestics used a long time ago

Back (Answer)

diethyl ether methyl propyl ether

#8
Front (Question)

Butane

Back (Answer)

C4H10 4 carbons

#9
Front (Question)

CH3

Back (Answer)

Methyl group *not stable, missing a bond*

#10
Front (Question)

Describe the difference between ammonia and ammonium regarding the basicity of nitrogen.

Back (Answer)

N has 5 valence electrons and wants 3 more to complete its valence shell. However, in ammonia and very many amines, N can form 4 covalent bonds and it acquires a “+” charge This can be pH dependent, the higher the pH (basic, less H+ floating around, the more ammonia, NH3.) The lower the pH (acidic, more H+ floating around, the more ammonium, NH4+)

#11
Front (Question)

Propene

Back (Answer)

C3H6

#12
Front (Question)

Functional group derived from ammonia, NH3

Back (Answer)

Amine

#13
Front (Question)

A molecule is chiral if…

Back (Answer)

there is a “right handed” form of the molecule that is different from the “left handed” form. the rotated molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image

#14
Front (Question)

Alkynes

Back (Answer)

contain at least 1 carbon-carbon triple bond as well as carbon-hydrogen bonds Named by adding “yne”

#15
Front (Question)

Pentane

Back (Answer)

C5H12 5 carbons

#16
Front (Question)

Classify purine

Back (Answer)

nitrogenous heteroaromatic forms the basis of A, and G (adenine, and guanine)

C2H2 ethyne, acetylene

#19
Front (Question)

Methane

Back (Answer)

CH4 1 carbon natural gas

#20
Front (Question)

If you replace 1 H from H20 with an alkyl, you have an…

Back (Answer)

alcohol (functional group based on water) To name, name the larger back bone, identify the location of the OH (hydroxyl) and add “ol”.

#21
Front (Question)

IUPAC nomenclature rules

Back (Answer)

• name the longest alkane - this is the parent chain • name all substituent alkyl groups in alphabetical order • use multipliers to indicate number of identical substituents • number the parent chain from the end, giving the lowest possible numbers for substituents • number the substituents. Numbers are separated from numbers with “,”, and from letters with “-“.

#22
Front (Question)

How does an isopropyl group differ from a propyl group?

Back (Answer)

The isopropyl group is an isomer of the propyl group A propyl group connects to another group of atoms at the first carbon in the 3 carbon chain An isopropyl group is attached to another atom at the center of the propyl group

#23
Front (Question)

Naming a ketone

Back (Answer)

named with suffix “-one” i.e. propanone (acetone)

#24
Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

A carbon double bonded to an oxygen
