What is organic chemistry? -CORRECTANSWER Branch of chemistry that studies the
structure, properties, composition, reaction and synthesis of organic compounds which
contain carbon atoms.
Catenation -CORRECTANSWER Ability of ab element to form bonds with itself,
resulting in formation of chains, rings or complex structures.
Allows for vats diversity of organic compounds in terms of reactivity and properties
The properties & reactivity of an organic molecule are controlled by its -
CORRECTANSWER composition & shape
Why do atoms form bonds to other atoms? -CORRECTANSWER Energetic stability
To say an atom is energetically stable means that the overall energy of the atom is -
CORRECTANSWER lower when in the bonded state than in a non bonded state
T/F
Lower energy typically means greater stability? Why -CORRECTANSWER True
b/c the electron configuration of the atom - atomic valence
