Chapter 9 Workshop Problems
First Term Review - Organize your notes!
Structure:
Create a flowchart that would allow you to determine whether
a given compound is an isomer of another, and if so, what type
of isomer.
(Work in pairs, then share the results.)
Reactions:
The four families of compounds studied thus far are the alkanes,
alkenes, alkyl halides, and alcohols. Represent them by four circles
and write arrows that show reactions that convert a compound from
one family to another. Include all other reactions that we have
studied; if they don't lead to one of these functional groups,
just show them emanating from one of the circles.
(Work in pairs, the share the results.)
Compare and update your notes:
Organize and optimize the class responses to the above exercises; create study sheets that you can take home. Particularly good examples will be put on the web site.
