3. Listed below are some common organic compounds. Classify each compound as polar or
non-polar. Write a space before each letter and write P for polar and NP for nonpolar.
Below each structure, identify the IMFA ( ionic, dipole-dipole, LDF or H-bonding).

5. Indicate whether the compounds in each set are Isomers (/) or not (X). Write a
check mark if they are isomers, if not write X before the number.
For those that are isomers, identify the type of isomerism displayed (chain,
functional, position, geometric) 15 points
