Front

What are functional groups in organic chemistry?

Back

Specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.

Front

What is the difference between empirical and molecular formulas?

Back

Empirical formula shows the simplest ratio of elements, while molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.

Front

What is a structural formula?

Back

A formula that shows the arrangement of atoms in a molecule and the bonds between them.

Front

What is combustion in organic chemistry?

Back

A chemical reaction that occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
