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. Carbon with four different substituents and lack a plane of symmetry






3. Carbonyl located at the end of the chain named by replacing al with e. e.g. butanal






4. When boat flips






5. When two atomic orbitals combine. obtained mathematically by adding or subtracting wave functions. if sings are the same - make bonding - if different - less stable antibonding.






6. O3






7. Is bonded to only one other carbon atom






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






9. 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






10. Common name for ethyne






11. Nucleus lover. electron rich species that are attracked to charged atoms






12. A molecule with an internal plane of symmetry






13. Compounds with halogen






14. A = observed rotation / concentration * length






15. Functionality is specified by alkoxy- prefix. ROR






16. What is produced when o3 with lialh4 or nabh4






17. E of double bond act as lewis base and react with hydrogen of hx. make carbocation intermediate. use markonikovs rule






18. One s and three p orbitals






19. If reagent has a bunch of oxygen






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






21. Object that is not superimposable upon mirror image






22. Three different substitutents often have plane of symmetry. and rotation of 180 will allow molecule to be superimposed on mirror image






23. 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.






24. Same molecular formula but different structure






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






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






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






28. Reaction of alkane with oxygen to form carbon dioxide - water and heat.






29. Iso - neo - cyclo






30. Diols with hydroxyl group on adjacent carbon






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






32. Alphabetical order of alkane rxn






33. Transfer of electrions from one atome to another






34. Zn/h or CH3/s with ozonolysis






35. Alkenes oxidzed with kmno4 - if made with cold - dilue - make OH on each side of double bond - diols or glycol in syn orientation






36. Carbon carbon triple bonds. Suffix-yne.






37. Rotations cancel each other out therefore no optical activity






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






39. Monosubstituted ethylene






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






41. Propylenes attached to a backbone at the C-3 position. Meaning the double bond at end of the chain and single bonded carbon at rest






42. Nonterminal alkenes are cleaved to form two molar equivalent of carvoxylic acid ..make keton






43. One s and two p 120 degree apart






44. Goal is to produce most stable carbocation

45. Not solvated






46. A sigma bond and two pi bonds






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






48. Solvents with protons in solution - e.g. water or alcohol. large atoms tend to be better nucleophiles in here because they can shed the solvating protons around them and are more polarizable






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






50. Carbonyl located in middle or somewhere in chane. Named with One
