  • 2. 

    A covalent bond is?

    • A carbon-carbon bond

    • A negatively charged bond

    • Sharing electrons between two bonded atoms

    • A man made bond between two naturally occurring atoms.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sharing electrons between two bonded atoms
    Explanation
    A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons. In this type of bond, the electrons are not transferred from one atom to another, but rather they are shared between the two bonded atoms. This sharing of electrons creates a strong bond that holds the atoms together. Covalent bonds are commonly found in molecules and compounds, such as carbon-carbon bonds in organic compounds. They can also occur between different types of atoms, not just carbon atoms.

    Name this functional group: - ProProfs

    Name this functional group:

    • Alcohol

    • Allkyl Halide 

    • Aldehyde

    • Amide

    Correct Answer
    A. Allkyl Halide 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Alkyl Halide. This is because an alkyl halide is a compound in which a halogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom. In the given options, the only functional group that fits this description is alkyl halide. An alcohol is a compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bonded to a carbon atom, an aldehyde is a compound in which a carbonyl group is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom, and an amide is a compound in which a carbonyl group is bonded to a nitrogen atom.

    • Amine

    • Amide

    • Amen

    • Anhydride

    Correct Answer
    A. Amine
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Amine. Amines are organic compounds that contain a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more alkyl or aryl groups. They are considered a functional group because they have distinct chemical properties and can participate in various reactions. Amines are commonly found in biological systems and play important roles in many physiological processes. They can be classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary amines depending on the number of alkyl or aryl groups attached to the nitrogen atom.

    Name the functional group?

    • Carbon dioxide

    • Carboxolide

    • Carboxylic Acid

    • Allkyl halide

    Correct Answer
    A. Carboxylic Acid
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Carboxylic Acid. Carboxylic acids are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group (-COOH). Carbon dioxide does not have a carboxyl group and therefore cannot be classified as a carboxylic acid. Carboxolide is not a recognized functional group, and alkyl halide refers to a different type of compound that contains a halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom.

    The chemistry of organic compounds is determined by?

    • Carbon

    • Bond strength

    • Functional groups

    • Covalency

    Correct Answer
    A. Functional groups
    Explanation
    The chemistry of organic compounds is determined by functional groups. Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within a molecule that determine its chemical behavior and reactivity. They are responsible for the characteristic properties and reactions of organic compounds. Different functional groups can confer different properties to the molecule, such as acidity, basicity, polarity, and reactivity. They can also dictate the types of reactions that the molecule can undergo. Therefore, functional groups play a crucial role in determining the chemistry of organic compounds.

    Presence of Heteroatoms in covalent bonds modifies?

    • Physical & Chemical properties

    • Polarity

    • Charge Positive/Negative

    Correct Answer
    A. Physical & Chemical properties
    Explanation
    The presence of heteroatoms in covalent bonds modifies the physical and chemical properties of the compound. Heteroatoms, such as oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur, have different electronegativities compared to carbon. This leads to an uneven distribution of electron density in the molecule, resulting in polarity. The presence of heteroatoms can also affect the charge distribution within the molecule, leading to the formation of positive or negative charges. These modifications in physical and chemical properties, polarity, and charge distribution can significantly impact the reactivity, solubility, boiling point, and other characteristics of the compound.

    Select the three major attraction forces:

    • Dipole-Dipole

    • Carbon-Carbon bonds

    • Hydrogen bonds

    • London dispersion force

    • Your attraction to me because im so beautiful ;)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Dipole-Dipole
    A. Hydrogen bonds
    A. London dispersion force
    Explanation
    The three major attraction forces mentioned in the question are Dipole-Dipole, Hydrogen bonds, and London dispersion force. These forces are intermolecular forces that exist between molecules and contribute to their physical properties. Dipole-Dipole forces occur between polar molecules, where the positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another. Hydrogen bonds are a specific type of dipole-dipole force that occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as oxygen or nitrogen) and is attracted to another electronegative atom. London dispersion forces are temporary attractions between nonpolar molecules due to fluctuations in electron distribution.

    A covalent bond can also contain?

    • Homoatoms

    • Negatively charged atoms 

    • Photosynthesis

    • Heteroatoms

    Correct Answer
    A. Heteroatoms
    Explanation
    A covalent bond can also contain heteroatoms. Heteroatoms are atoms that are different from the main atoms in a molecule. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule. When a heteroatom is present, it means that there is at least one atom in the molecule that is different from the main atoms. This can introduce different chemical properties and reactivity to the molecule. Therefore, heteroatoms can be present in a covalent bond along with homoatoms (atoms of the same element).

    Carbon always forms ___ bonds.

    • 2

    • 4

    • 69 ;)

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    Carbon always forms 4 bonds because it has 4 valence electrons in its outermost energy level. In order to achieve a stable electron configuration, carbon needs to share these electrons with other atoms. Each bond represents the sharing of one electron, so carbon can form a maximum of 4 bonds. This allows carbon to create a wide variety of stable compounds, including organic molecules essential for life.

    Correct Answer
    A. Thiol
    Explanation
    A thiol is a functional group that consists of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom (-SH). It is also known as a sulfhydryl group. In the given options, phenol is not a thiol as it contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) instead of a sulfur-hydrogen bond. Alkane and sulfide are also not thiol functional groups. Therefore, the correct answer is thiol.
