Read each question carefully and provide clear, concise answers. Show all your work for calculations and draw structures neatly where required.
1. Which of the following best describes an alkane?
A hydrocarbon with at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
A saturated hydrocarbon with only carbon-carbon single bonds.
A hydrocarbon containing a benzene ring.
An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple carbon-carbon bond.
2. What is the general formula for a cycloalkane?
CnH2n+2
CnH2n
CnH2n-2
CnH2n-6
1. Alkanes are also known as because they contain only carbon-carbon single bonds.
2. The functional group present in alcohols is the group.
3. Cycloalkanes have a structure.
1. Draw the condensed structural formula for 2,2,4-trimethylpentane.
2. Name the following compound according to IUPAC rules:
3. Identify the functional group in the following molecule:
1. Cyclobutane is an isomer of 1-butene.
True
False
2. Functional groups determine the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds.
True
False
Match each functional group with its characteristic structural feature.
1. Alcohol
a. -COOH
