Organic Functional Groups & Isomers — Drills · Grade 11 Science
Chapter: Organic Chemistry & Material DesignWhat these drills covers
By the end of Organic Functional Groups & Isomers you should be able to:
- I can identify carbon frameworks, functional groups, and structural isomers.
- I can relate connectivity and intermolecular behavior to properties.
2 questions, numeric and written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: functional group, structural isomers, saturated hydrocarbon.
Problem 1
How many H atoms are in acyclic alkane C₆H…?
Hints
Write the relationship first; substitute with consistent units.
Answer and explanation
14 H atoms
2×6+2=14.
Problem 2
Why is an alcohol group not hydroxide ion?
Answer and explanation
The O–H group is covalently part of a neutral molecule, not a separate OH⁻ ion.
Response criteria
- State a scientifically accurate conclusion.
- Show the calculation or mechanism that supports it.
- Include units, conditions, or limits where relevant.
