1. Consider the molecular formula C2H4O. Draw the two correct structural
formulas for this molecular formula, then complete the rest of the table.
a. Correct drawing
b. Polar, polar
c. Yes, yes
d. Small polar, molecules have a smell; small polar, molecules have a
smell
2. Consider the three structural formulas in the table for the molecular formula

a. Polar, polar, polar
b. Yes, yes, yes
c. Asymmetrical molecule, medium-size, an alcohol; asymmetrical
molecule, medium-size, an ether; asymmetrical molecule, mediumsize, an ether
3. Imagine that the hydroxyl functional group in the alcohol is changed to an
amine functional group. Draw the new structural formula. What would remain
the same about the molecule, and what would change?
Same: Same number of carbon atoms. Similar shape stringy. The

Different: There would be a nitrogen atom in the molecule, no oxygen
atom, and an additional hydrogen atom. The structural formula and
molecular formula would both change. The smell would change to fishy.

viscosity or thickness. Its molecular formula is C16H30O2.
a. Phase: liquid, Polarity: polar, Smell: yes
b. Phase: medium-size covalent molecule; polarity: asymmetrical, has
polar end; smell: medium-size, so it will smell
