Questions and Answers

What is a characteristic that distinguishes aldehydes and ketones from hydrocarbons and ethers?

  • They have a higher boiling point (correct)
  • They are more soluble in water
  • They can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds
  • They have a lower boiling point

    • What should be the suffix of an aldehyde in its IUPAC name?

  • -one
  • -al (correct)
  • -ene
  • -ol

    • Why does the aldehyde group have priority over other functional groups?

  • Because it is the easiest to identify
  • Because it is always found at the end of a chain
  • Because it is the most polar
  • Because it has the highest priority according to IUPAC rules (correct)
