Organic formulae

•A) What is organic chemistry?

•B) Give 2 reasons why carbon can form so many compounds

•C) How does the strength of a single C-C bond compare with other single bonds between 2 atoms of the same element?

•D) How does the relative strength of the C-C bond affect the number of carbon compounds?

a saturated hydrocarbon contains 5 C atoms in its molecule. what are the two possible molecular formulae for this hydrocarbon?

Consider the compound C2H4O2- is it an organic compound? explain your answer

•To what extent is a series of organic compounds, such as the alkanes, comparable to a group of elements in the Periodic Table?

1) Draw a structure for each of the alkane isomers with the molecular formula C3H6Br2

2) Draw a structure for each of the cycloalkane isomers with the molecular formula C3H4Br2

3) Draw structures for all of the possible isomers of the alkanes and cycloalkanes with 6 carbon atoms in the molecule
