True/False
Indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false.
1. Carbonyl groups are present in alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, and esters.
2. When a primary alcohol is mildly oxidized, an aldehyde is produced; when a
secondary alcohol is mildly oxidized, a ketone is produced.
3. The formation of an alcohol when an alkene reacts with water in the presence of an
acid is an example of a hydrolysis reaction.
4. Benzene reacts readily with bromine in addition reactions at its double bonds.
5. When methanol and vinegar are allowed to react, ethyl methanoate and water are
produced from the esterification reaction.
6. Diethylether is a structural isomer of 2-butanol, and hexanal is a structural isomer
of 3-hexanone.
7. 1,2-dibromoethane can be produced from the substitution reaction of bromine with
ethene.
8. Polybutene is formed from addition reaction of butene monomers, and the polymer
chain consists of carbon atoms single bonded to each other, with ethyl groups
attached to each carbon atom in the chain.
9. Condensation polymers such as polystyrene and polypropylene may have physical
properties such as flexibility and strength as a result of the degree of crosslinkages
present in the polymer.
10. In proteins, the amino acid monomers are held together by amide linkages between
the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of the adjacent amino
acid.
