Accepted Answer
Test 3 will cover alkyl halides, aldehydes, and ketones. These are important organic functional groups with unique characteristics, reactions, and reaction mechanisms.
Alkyl Halides: These compounds contain a halogen atom (F, Cl, Br, or I) bonded to a carbon atom. Their reactivity is influenced by the type of halogen and the carbon it's attached to. Common reactions include nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions.
Aldehydes and Ketones: These both contain a carbonyl group (C=O). Aldehydes have a hydrogen atom attached to the carbonyl carbon, while ketones have two carbon groups. They exhibit various reactions like nucleophilic addition, oxidation, and reduction.
Make sure to understand the key characteristics, common reactions, and underlying mechanisms for each functional group. Good luck with your test!
