Question 1

This image question appears in the interactive quiz.

Answer options

  • Polymer
  • Isomer
  • Hydrocarbon
  • Functional group

Key Idea

Polymers turn small repeating units into materials with large-scale flexibility and strength.

Question 2

What is made only of carbon and hydrogen atoms?

Answer options

  • Hydrocarbon
  • Carbohydrate
  • Salt
  • Protein

Key Idea

Hydrocarbons can link into long chains or rings, and the way those carbon atoms connect and bond is what makes gasoline, plastics, and even candle wax behave so differently.

Question 3

What creates bond polarity in a covalent bond, which can strongly affect solubility and boiling point?

Answer options

  • Unequal sharing
  • Electron transfer
  • Orbital mixing
  • Equal sharing

Key Idea

Bond polarity comes from electronegativity differences, and a larger dipole moment usually boosts boiling point via stronger intermolecular attractions like dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding.

Question 4

Molecules with the same functional group often react in similar ways, even when the rest of the structure is very different.

Answer options

  • True
  • False

Key Idea

Functional groups set the main reaction pattern, while the rest of the molecule tunes speed and selectivity, like electron-withdrawing groups making a carbonyl much more electrophilic.

Question 5

What uses the CIP priority rules to label chiral centers as $R$ or $S$ in a consistent way?

Answer options

  • Stereochemistry
  • Stoichiometry
  • NMR spectroscopy
  • Chromatography

Key Idea

CIP ranking follows atomic number (with tie-breaks down the chain and special handling for multiple bonds), and $R/S$ configuration is independent of whether a compound rotates light as $(+)$ or $(-)$.
