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. Diol with hydroxyl group on same carbon






2. Functionality is specified by alkoxy- prefix. ROR






3. 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






4. In which one or morehydrogen atoms are replaced with a halogen atom. via free radical substitution






5. Carbon double bonded to an oxygen






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






7. 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






8. One s and three p orbitals






9. 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.






10. M - chloroperoxybenzoic acid






11. Goal is to produce most stable carbocation

12. Combustion reaction occurs through a radical process






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






14. Configuration in relation to another chiral molecule. use it to determine if a molecule is an enantiomer - diastereomer - etc






15. Hydrocarbon with one or more carbon carbon triple bond






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






17. Di - tri - t - sec - n -






18. Spatial arrangement of the atoms or groups of a sterioisomer






19. Iso - neo - cyclo






20. N - l - ml - ms






21. Lowest priority group projects into the page






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






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






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






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






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






27. Transfer of electrions from one atome to another






28. Monosubstituted ethylene






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






30. Kmno4






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






32. Formed by mixing different types of orbitals






33. Occur when a molecule is broken down by heat. used to reduce the avverage molecular weight of heavy oils. c - c - bonds are cleave dand make small chain alkyl radicals that recombine to form different alkanes






34. A molecule with an internal plane of symmetry






35. Creation of long - high molecular weight polymer composed of repeating subunit called monomers. occur through a radical mechanism.






36. Same molecular formula but different structure






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






38. Name for propanal






39. Alphabetical order of alkane rxn






40. Is bonded to only one other carbon atom






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






42. Contain carbon carbon double bonds. Use same root of alkane but end with 'ene'






43. A sigma bond and two pi bonds






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






45. Carbon carbon triple bonds. Suffix-yne.






46. Name for ethanal






47. Common name for ethyne






48. Rotations cancel each other out therefore no optical activity






49. F - CL - Br - I






50. Compounds with halogen
