what is a major difference between organic and inorganic compounds? - ANSorganic contain
carbon
what is the reason why there are so many organic compounds? - ANScarbon atoms can form
stable covalent bonds with other carbon atoms
the vast number of organic compounds is due to the unique chemistry of carbon. this chemistry
involves - ANSformation of long chains& isomerism
Which applies to the manner in which carbon bonds in alkanes? - ANSthe bonds are formed
with carbon using an sp3 configuration
functional groups are - ANSto organic chem as polyatomic ions are to inorganic chem, are
chemically bound to each other in order to develop larger molecules
the alkanes represent one family of organic compounds - ANSthat is composed of carbon and
hydrogen
formulas of organic compounds - ANSCH3CH2COOH, CH3CH2OH,
CH3CH3CH3
which is an alcohol - ANSCH3CH2OH
what is meant by the term "saturated" when describing hydrocarbons - ANSthey are saturated
with hydrogen and only have single bonds between carbons
correct statements on the naming of organic compounds - ANSmany compounds have been
known long enough to have common names, the naming system of organic compounds is set
by IUPAC rules, & the naming system requires that the longest carbon chain must always be
found
cycloalkanes are - ANSNOT: compounds that have a flat molecular structure,
saturated hydrocarbons, or compounds that cannot have hydrogens removed and replaced by
