A functional group you did not learn about is called an acid chloride, shown below. Notice how the amine reacts with it. Give a reason or reasons for why the nitrogen atom of the amine seeks out the carbonyl atom of the acid chloride and can form a bond to it.
Why is chlorine an important functional group?
Although it was not discussed in the chapter, it is possible for a hydrocarbon molecule to have more than one site of unsaturation. One such molecule is 1,3 -butadiene; the \(d i\) - tells us there are two double bonds in the molecule. Give the molecular formula and line drawing for this molecule.
Why is it more correct to draw a linear hydrocarbon that contains only \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}\) single bonds as a zigzag rather than a straight line?
What should be your first task in naming any hydrocarbon molecule?
