What is the general formula for alkanes (saturated hydrocarbons)?
Answer: CnH2n+2
Alkanes follow the general formula CnH2n+2, as each carbon forms four single bonds with hydrogen or other carbons.
Which functional group is present in alcohols?
Answer: -OH
Alcohols are characterized by the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a carbon atom.
What type of reaction converts alkenes to alkanes by adding hydrogen?
Answer: Hydrogenation
Hydrogenation adds H2 across a double bond in an alkene to form a saturated alkane, typically using a metal catalyst like Ni or Pt.
Which compound is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon?
Answer: Benzene
Benzene (C6H6) is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon, featuring a ring of six carbon atoms with delocalized pi electrons.
What is the IUPAC name for CH3-CH2-OH?
Answer: Ethanol
CH3-CH2-OH contains two carbon atoms with a hydroxyl group, making it ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol).
Which type of isomerism involves compounds with the same molecular formula but different functional groups?
Answer: Functional group isomerism
Functional group isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but contain different functional groups, e.g., ethanol and dimethyl ether (both C2H6O).
