Problem 1
Explain the relationship between a monomer and a polymer.
Problem 1
Define functional group and give two examples.
Problem 1
Cycloalkanes are named based on the number of \(\mathrm{C}\) atoms in them, just like regular alkanes, but with the prefix cyclo- on the name. What are the names of the three smallest cycloalkanes?
Problem 1
Define hydrocarbon. What are the two general types of hydrocarbons? What are the three different types of aliphatic hydrocarbons? How are they defined? Indicate whether each molecule is an aliphatic or an aromatic hydrocarbon. If it is aliphatic, identify the molecule as an alkane, an alkene, or an alkyne.
Problem 1
Name a similarity between the functional groups found in aldehydes and ketones. Can you name a difference between them?
Problem 1
What are the structure and name of the smallest amine?
Problem 2
What are the structure and name of the smallest thiol?
Problem 2
Must a monomer have a double bond to make a polymer? Give an example to illustrate your answer.
Problem 2
Explain how a carboxylic acid is used to make an ester.
Problem 3
Draw the bond-line structure of all noncyclic alkanes with only four \(\mathrm{C}\) atoms.
