Questions and Answers

What is the essence of Butlerov's theory of organic compounds?

  • The properties of substances depend only on their qualitative and quantitative composition.
  • The properties of substances depend on their internal molecular structure. (correct)
  • The properties of substances depend on their physical state.
  • The properties of substances depend on their external molecular structure.

According to Butlerov, what should structural formulas reflect?

  • The physical state of the molecule.
  • The quantitative composition of the molecule.
  • An abstract image of a molecule.
  • The real structure of molecules. (correct)

What does Butlerov propose in relation to the chemical properties of substances and their chemical structure?

  • Studying chemical properties may lead to finding the chemical structure and vice versa. (correct)
  • Finding chemical structure does not relate to studying chemical properties.
  • Chemical structure has no impact on the chemical properties of substances.
  • Chemical properties have no relation to the chemical structure.
