Study Notes
Organic Reactions Study Notes
- Space-filling models do not provide information on bond types or numbers.
- Pentane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C5H12.
- A carbon chain comprising a single ring does not qualify as an aromatic compound.
- Benzene has a structure closely resembling that of aspirin.
- 2-methylpropane is a branched alkane.
- Preservatives for biological specimens often include formaldehyde.
- A compound suitable for condensation polymerization typically has two alcohol functional groups.
- The molecular formula for methanol is CH3OH.
- Secondary amines follow the general formula R2NH.
- Propene can be converted to an alkyl halide through an addition reaction.
- Estradiol, a hormone, is classified as an aromatic compound.
- The chemical formula for acetic acid is C2H4O2.
- Saturated hydrocarbons are primarily used in the combustion of natural gas.
- Condensation polymerization requires monomers to have multiple functional groups.
- Addition polymerization differs from condensation in that it retains all atoms from the monomers.
- Geometric isomers are compounds with the same atoms in the same order but different spatial arrangements.
- Polystyrene cups are composed of alkenes.
- Carboxylic acids can be visualized as repeating units, similar to a train model.
- Esters are commonly used in the fragrance industry.
- The hydrocarbon CH3(CH2)6CH3 is classified as octane.
- Of a group of similar-sized hydrocarbons, one identified as an alkyne is typically distinct from alkenes.
- Many interconnected simple subunits lead to the formation of polymers.
- Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
- Alcohols are characterized by the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups.
- An organic compound is generally defined by containing carbon and often hydrogen, among other elements.
