Question

What is an example of a carbon chemistry practice problem?

Answer 1

I don't know how far you are, so perhaps one of these.

• Name the allotropes of carbon.
  Hint: there are 3. (Don't look them up)

• Draw the resonance structures of 1,3,5-hexatriene:

• Determine the products of:

`HC-=CH + Na^(+)H:^(-) -> "Product A"`

`"Product A" + CH_3CH_2Br -> "Product B"`

Hint:

• `H:^(-)` is a very strong lewis base. What do lewis bases want?
• What then does "Product A" want to do to `CH_3CH_2Br`, which has a `Br`, a good leaving group in this context?
• "Product B" is a connection between acetylene and `CH_3CH_2Br` in some way.
