R-CO-R’
#4
Front (Question)
What are the properties of carbonyl compounds?
Back (Answer)
• strongly polar so they have permanent dipole - dipole forces between molecules • higher boiling points than alkanes with similar relative molecular mass but not as high as alcohols (which have H bonds between molecules) • high solubility but as the length of the C chain increases, solubility of carbonyl compounds in water decreases
