How does Organic Chemistry differ from Inorganic Chemistry? - Answers Organic compounds differ from
inorganic compounds in that they center on carbon-containing compounds, whereas inorganic
compounds center on metallic (ionic) compounds.
Organic Chemistry - Answers The branch of chemistry that deals with carbon-containing compounds.
At least 12 types of compounds.
Characteristics of Organic Chemistry - Answers 1. Molecules are relatively large.
2. Molecules are relatively non-ionizable.
3. Reactions involve a change in only a small part of the molecule.
4. Most reactions take place slowly.
Inorganic Chemistry - Answers The branch of chemistry that studies the properties and reactions of
elements, excluding organic or certain carbon-containing compounds.
4 types of compounds.
Characteristics of Inorganic Chemistry - Answers 1. Molecules are relatively small.
2. Molecules are relatively ionizable.
3. Reactions involve a major change in the molecule.
4. Many reactions occur instantaneously.
Polymerization - Answers The linking together of monomers into basic chemical units to form a polymer.
Monomer - Answers A basic, single chemical unit.
Polymer - Answers A large molecule made up by bonding many monomers.
Elements in Organic Chemistry - Answers Elements are the unique components of compounds denoted
by a letter (2 in some cases).
Periodic Table - Answers A tabular arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.
This arrangement allows the columns of elements to represent the recurrence of similar properties.
, Atomic Number - Answers The bold number above the chemical symbol on the periodic table for each
element which denotes the number of protons.
Atomic Mass - Answers The sum of protons and neutrons for a given element.
Groups - Answers AKA Families.
Refers to the vertical columns of the periodic table.
Periods - Answers Refers to the horizontal rows of the periodic table.
Alkali Metals - Answers 1A
Alkaline Earth Metals - Answers 2A
Halogens - Answers 7A
Noble Gases - Answers AKA Inert Gases.
8A
Chemical Bonding - Answers The basis for bonding is primarily the sharing of electrons in organic
chemistry.
Ionic Bonds - Answers The unequal sharing of electrons resulting in a charge.
anionic and cationic
Covalent Bonds - Answers The equal sharing of electrons resulting in a neutral (or no) charge.
Polar Covalent Bonds - Answers An equal sharing of electrons where a partial charge exists due to
differences in electronegativity.
Electronegativity - Answers The measure of attractiveness that an element has for electrons.
On the periodic table electronegativity:
INCREASES from left to right in the periods.
INCREASES from bottom to top in the groups (families).
Lewis Dot Structures
Definition - Answers A method of predicting bonding by assigning electrons to the element.
The number of electrons is determined by the group number for the elements in the groups 1A through
8A.
