Curriculum Expectation B2. investigate organic compounds and organic chemical
reactions, and use various methods to represent the compounds.
1. Name the following compounds. Where necessary use E/Z notation. (1 mark each)
ethylpropanamide
Butanoic acid
2-butanol Copyright ©
2020 The
Ontario 3-methylpentene
b. 3-aminohexane
H N H
1. Can a geometric isomer be created from butane? With the use of a diagram, demonstrate
how it can or cannot be formed. (2 marks)
No, this is due to it’s a single bond compound. There is no other way to accurately represent the
formula.
2. Circle the two structures that are structural isomers of each other. (1 mark)
3. Which of the following would you expect to have the higher boiling point?
Explain why. (3 marks – 1 for the answer, 2 for the explanation)
1-chloropropane Propan-1-ol Butane
Propan-1-ol has the higher boiling point, based on its IMF, specifically the hydrogen bonding
forces. Due to the strength of these bonds, it requires more energy to break these bonds
than 1-chloropropane which has dipole-dipole bonds. Similarly, Butane has London
(dispersing) force bonds which require the least energy of all three molecules above. The
IMFs, strongest to weakest are, (1) Ionic, (2) hydrogen, (3) dipole-diploe, and (4) London
Dispersing Force.
4. Below is a primary alcohol or and an aldehyde (of same carbon length). Which is
more likely to be soluble in water? Explain. (2 marks)
1-propanol
Propionaldehyde
Even though aldehydes have some polarity, the c=o bond only allows for the
acceptance of hydrogen bonds; they cannot donate hydrogen bonds.
The concurrent acceptance and donation of hydrogen bonds is what dictates the
polarity of a molecule, and thereby affects its solubility.
Therefore, based on this, the primary alcohol is more likely to be soluble in water.
6. Identify the following reaction types (e.g. condensation, addition, etc.). (1 mark each)
dilute NaOH
NaCl
Cl Substitution OH
Conc. H2SO4
H 2O
OH
Condensation
1. Draw charge minimized Lewis structures for the following compounds: (2 marks each)
a. HCN b. IOF5
H C N
H – 1e
C – 4e
N – 5e
10e
2. What types of intermolecular forces would you predict for each of the compounds
above? (1 mark each)
a. HCN: hydrogen is not directly bonded to the nitrogen so it can’t be a hydrogen bond. The
difference in electronegativity between the hydrogen and carbon creates a permanent
dipole bond. This means that there is dipole – dipole force in this compound.
b. The electronegativity between I and F atoms shows that there is dipole – dipole forces in
the compound.
