1. The most common type of bonding in inorganic chemistry is __________
bonding. The most common type of bonding in organic chemistry is
______________ bonding. This means that in organic compounds, the electrons
involved in bonds are usually ____________ by the atoms.
2. In inorganic chemistry, a compound is often completely identified by a simple
formula such as H3PO4, NaCl, or Fe(OH)3. However, in organic chemistry, we
frequently need formulas that indicate the molecule's ____________. In organic
chemistry, several compounds may have the same makeup in terms of
e__________ and number of each _________, but their chemical and physical
properties may be quite _____________.
3. In water, organic compounds are generally (soluble) (insoluble) and inorganic
compounds tend to be _____________. In organic solvents, organic compounds
are generally _________ and inorganic compounds are generally __________ .
4. A hydrocarbon is a compound that contains only two elements, _________ and
_________. If a hydrocarbon has only open chains (straight or branched), it is
called an _______________ hydrocarbon.
5. In an organic compound, two carbon atoms may share only one pair of electrons.
This is called a ______ bond. If two carbon atoms share two pairs of electrons, it
is called a _________ bond. If two carbon atoms share three pairs of electrons,
it is called a __________ bond.
6. An aliphatic hydrocarbon, which has only single bonds between carbon atoms is
called an ____________. An aliphatic hydrocarbon with at least one double
bond between carbon atoms is called an ________. If an aliphatic hydrocarbon
has at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms, the compound is called
