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. Alphabetical order of alkane rxn






2. What are the best leaving groups?






3. 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.






4. Most similar. same molecule only at different points in their rotation. show them with newmans projections






5. If reagent has a bunch of oxygen






6. Two p orbital form pi and third p orbital combine with s to make two sp hybrid. 180 degree apart






7. Common name for ethyne






8. Hydrocarbon with one or more carbon carbon triple bond






9. Most favorable of staggared conformations






10. Name for ethanal






11. What is produced when o3 with lialh4 or nabh4






12. Electrons of pi bond are reactive and easily attacked by molecules that want e pair e.g. electrophiles.






13. A sigma bond and two pi bonds






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






15. Carbon double bonded to an oxygen






16. Not solvated






17. O3






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






19. Lowest priority group projects into the page






20. Carbon carbon triple bonds. Suffix-yne.






21. Two hydroxyl groups






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






23. Diols with hydroxyl group on adjacent carbon






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






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






26. Object that is not superimposable upon mirror image






27. Water can be added to alkenes under acidic conditions. make carbocation. ends with alcohol






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






29. Is bonded to only one other carbon atom






30. Highest energy no separation. or 120 separation.






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






32. Methyl are 60 degrees apart. kinda stable






33. Name for propanal






34. Monosubstituted ethylene






35. If a compound is able to rotate plane polarized light.






36. Use the Greek root for the number of carbons followed by the ending - - ane






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






38. Compounds with halogen






39. Refers to the =CH2 group






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






41. Sharing of electron between atoms






42. 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






43. Name for mathanal






44. Transfer of electrions from one atome to another






45. Palladium or barium sulfate (BaSO4) with quinoline. occur on metal surface - make cis.

46. M - chloroperoxybenzoic acid






47. Goal is to produce most stable carbocation

48. Ozonolysis under hot acidic kmO4 - e.g. H2O2 condition






49. Results when nonadjacent atoms or groups compete for space. dominant source of energy in flagpole interactions of the boat conformation. thus it goes in various conformations like chair boat and twist.






50. Kmno4
