MCAT Organic Chemistry

Subjects : mcat, science
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Cleaves double bond in half - it only oxidizes the carbon to an aldehyde under reducing conditions. if ozidizing make same product as KMNO4






2. Non mirror image of configurational isomers. cis and trans alkenes are them. possible when a molecule has two or more stereogenic centers that differ at some but not alll of the centers. they require multiple chiral centers.






3. Alkene oxidized with this - strong oxidizing agent. CH3CO3H or mcpba and it makes epoxide or oxirane






4. When a molecular orbital is formed head to head or tail to tail. all single bonds are tehese.






5. Reducing an alkene by adding molecular hydrogen to double bond with aid of metal catalyst. e.g. pt - pd - ni. takes place on surface of metal so it does syn addition






6. Diborane add to double bond. boron acts as lewis acid and attaches to less hindered carbon. hydride transferred to adjacent carbon. antimarkonikov - alcohol produced






7. No double bonds. it has the maximum number of hydrogens.






8. Moleculse that have the opposite configuration at their one chiral center. or if multiple chiral centers - must have the opposite configuration at every one of their chiral centers to be enantiomers. identical physical properties and much of the same






9. Methyl are 60 degrees apart. kinda stable






10. When bond angles deviate from ideal values






11. Arise from angle strain - torsional strian and nonbonded strain






12. Iso - neo - cyclo






13. More likely it is to attract positively charged proton. nucleophilic strength decreses: RO->HO>RCO2>ROH>H2O






14. Zn/h or CH3/s with ozonolysis






15. M - chloroperoxybenzoic acid






16. Nonsuperimposable mirror image of chiral objects - a specific steroisomer.






17. Sharing of electron between atoms






18. In presence of peroxide - oxygen or ultraviolet light. antimarkonikov because they want a stable free radical. therefore X ends up on least subsituted carbon






19. Results when cyclic molecules must assume conformations that have eclipsed interactions






20. Combustion reaction occurs through a radical process






21. Carbon double bonded to an oxygen






22. How many stereoisomers can a molecule have with n chiral centers






23. Di - tri - t - sec - n -






24. Alphabetical order of alkane rxn






25. Monosubstituted ethylene






26. Transfer of electrions from one atome to another






27. Most favorable of staggared conformations






28. Diols with hydroxyl group on adjacent carbon






29. Object that is not superimposable upon mirror image






30. Share molecular formula but have different chemical and physical properties






31. Hydrocarbon with one or more carbon carbon triple bond






32. Chain of carbons connected by single bonds with hydrogen atoms attached.






33. Not solvated






34. Always receive number one. contain carbonyl and OH group - very oxidized. highest priority functional group.






35. One s and three p orbitals






36. Y = position of double bond - x is position of triple bond - root is the prefix representing the length of the principal carbon chain






37. One s and two p 120 degree apart






38. Describes the exact spatial arrangement of groups of atoms independent of other molecules.






39. Goal is to produce most stable carbocation

40. When boat flips






41. When two p orbitals line up in parallel and electron clouds overlap. it exsits over a single bond.






42. Formed by mixing different types of orbitals






43. Lowest priority group projects into the page






44. Functionality is specified by alkoxy- prefix. ROR






45. A radical transfers a hydrogen atom to another radical and makes an alkane and alkene






46. Highest energy no separation. or 120 separation.






47. Same molecular formula but different structure






48. Same chemical formula. same atomic connectivity . different in how atoms are arranged in space






49. O3






50. Steps of free radical substitution
