Are there any good mnemonic devices for remembering functional groups?

Nikolay [14]3 years ago

<span>Mnemonics for Functional Groups These are possible mnemonics for the common functional groups.
Vowels: The vowels "A", "E", and "Y" for Alkane, Alkene, and Alkyne.
Remember there is no "I." "O" and "U" would result in awkward pronunciations. Alcohol: Look for the "C-O-H" in "Alcohol." Ether: Ethers were anesthetics used in the 1800s.
Dr. Kellogg also lived at the same time. Corn Flakes are made by Kellogg's. A rooster or wingspan (C-O-C) is the cornflake mascot.
Amine: Remember the "N" stands for nitrogen. Aldehyde: This sounds like "Adelaide," the Australian city.
Australia is at the end of the Asian islands, and aldehydes are at the end of the hydrocarbon chain. The "Y" indicates a C=O double bond.
Ketone: Imagine the diagonal strokes of "K" forming the C=O double bond.
 Carboxylic Acid: "Box" stands for boxed wine or C-O-H, alcohol. The "Y" indicates a C=O double bond.
Ester: This sounds like "Estelle" George Costanza's mother in the TV show Seinfeld. George's nickname was Koko or Coco. So think of O=C-O-C.
Amide: Amine with a "D". D for double.</span>

Identify which subatomic particles match each of these descriptions. Specifically, determine whether the following descriptions
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

1. Protons

2. Electrons

3. Neutrons

4. Protons and neutrons

5. Electrons

Explanation:

The protons are the only positive sub-atomic particles and the have a charge of +1.

The Electrons are the only negative subatomic particles and they have a charge of -1

Neutrons do not have any charge but they have the same mass as the protons

The nucleus of an atom is where most of the atomic masses are concentrated and it houses the neutrons and protons

The electrons reside outside the nucleus and they have a much more lesser mass compared to the neutrons and protons

Holly has an unknown substance in a beaker. She wants to determine the relative pH of the unknown substance. She places a piece
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B has a neutral pH

Explanation:

we all know that acid converts blue litmus to red on the other hand base converts red litmus paper to blue.

       According to the question the blue litmus paper does not change its colour or it stays blue that means the pH of solution is neutral or7 which prevent the colour change of the litmus paper.

    If the solution was acidic then the blue litmus paper changes into red .

Dvinal [7]
<span>Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.
Nuclear reaction: </span>₈₄²¹⁸Po → ₈₂²¹⁴Pb + α (alpha particle).<span>
Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.</span>

The most stable conformation of the following compound has
slega [8]

Answer:

The most stable conformation of the following compound has

A. An axial methyl group and an axial ethyl group.

B. An axial methyl group and an equatorial ethyl group.

C. An axial tert-butyl group.

D. An equatorial methyl group and an equatorial ethyl group.

E. An equatorial methyl group and an axial ethyl group.

Explanation:

The most stable conformation in the cyclohexane ring is the one in which both the substituents are in the equatorial position.

Among the given options,

option D  An equatorial methyl group and an equatorial ethyl group.

When the substituents in the cyclohexane ring are in equatorial positions then, the steric repulsions will be reduced.

Answer is option D.
