What feature of aldehydes and ketones strongly influences their physical and chemical properties?

Carbonyl Polarities

What is the name of this molecule?

Benzaldehyde

What's the name of this molecule?

Benzophenone

What's the name of this molecule?

3-ethylcyclopentanone

What's the name of this molecule?

3-oxo-butanal

With what conditions are aldehydes and ketones gases and liquids?

With carbon chains 1 - 2 atoms long and 3 - 10 atoms long respectively.

What functional group does Benzene belong to?

Phenyl group

Why do aldehydes and ketones have higher boiling points than alkanes and ethers of similar mass?

Dipole-dipole interactions between carbonyl groups hold aldehydes and ketones together

Why do alcohols have a higher boiling point than aldehydes and ketones of similar mass?

Alcohols can form hydrogen bonds with each other and aldehydes and ketones cannot

At what point are aldehydes and ketones soluble, slightly soluble, and non soluble?

At one to four, five, and six or more carbon atoms respectively

What do aldehydes and ketones oxidize to form?

Aldehydes form carboxylic acids, ketones do not undergo oxidization.

What is a result of the addition of an alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of an acid catalyst?

A hemiacetal

What type of molecule contains two alkoxy groups on the same carbon atom?

Acetals

Of the two, which are more reactive? Aldehyde or ketones?

Aldehydes, because their carbonyl carbon is more positive

Which aldehydes are more often referred to by their common names?

Aldehydes with carbon chains of 1 to 4 carbons.

Are numbers needed for naming both aldehyde and ketone groups?

Only for ketone groups

What are the common names for methanal and ethanal?

Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.

Why are aldehydes and ketones soluble at all?

The oxygen in the carbonyl group forms a hydrogen bond with the water's hydrogen atom.

What do aldehydes oxidized to form?

Carboxylic acids

Why can't ketones undergo oxidization?

Because there is no hydrogen atom connected to the carbonyl group to be reduced/oxidized

What is Tollen's reagent?

A solution of a positive silver ion and ammonia (AgNO3)

What is the purpose of tollens test?

To differentiate between oxidizable aldehydes and inoxidizable ketones.

What is the purpose of Benedict's test?

The differentiate between compounds with an aldehyde functional group and an adjacent hydroxyl group and simple aldehydes and ketones.

What is Benedict's solution?

CuSO4 (containing a Cu²+ ion)

What is the product of Benedict's solution and and aldehyde with an adjacent hydroxyl group?

A brick-red solid of Cu2O.

What is the product of a positive tollens test?

Reduced silver and an oxidized aldehyde, forming a silver mirror on the inside of the container.

By what are aldehydes and ketones reduced?

Hydrogen (H2) or sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and a catalyst such as nickel platinum or palladium.

What are the process and products of reduction of aldehydes and ketones?

An addition of hydrogen reduces carbon oxygen bonds. The products of reduction of aldehydes and ketones are primary and secondary alcohols respectively.

What is the product of butanal of Tollens' reagent?

Butanoic acid and silver

What is the product of the reduction of cyclohexanone by hydrogen?

Cyclohexanol

With an abundance of alcohol, what will a hemiacetal become?

The unstable hemiacetal will react with a second molecule of alcohol to form acetal and water.

What is the difference in carbonyl groups between aldehydes and ketones?

Polarity, the carbonyl group in the more reactive aldehyde is more positive.

Is hemiacetal and acetal formation reversible?

Yes.

Under what conditions do cyclic hemiacetals form?

When the carbonyl group and the -OH group are in the same molecule.

What reaction explains how sugar molecules can link together and form disaccharides and polysaccharides?

The addition of alcohols to cyclic hemiacetals to form cyclic acetals.

What is maltose and what are its constituents?

A disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules linked together by an acetal bond.

What is the condensed structural formula of the acetal formed by adding CH3OH to butanal?

What does it mean for a carbon atom to be chiral?

The carbon atom must have 4 different atoms or groups.

What is a stereoisomer?

An arrangement of a molecule in which only the three-dimensional image looks different than the original..

What is a Fischer projection?

A two-dimensional representation of a molecule, placing the most oxidized group at the top, using vertical lines for bonds that go back, and horizontal lines for bonds that go forward

What is an enantiomer?

A stereoisomer that cannot be superimposed with its original

What senses are responsive to the chirality of molecules?

Smell and taste

Remember this
