Instructions: In this activity you’ll get practice identifying and drawing aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols. Remember if you’d like to visualize things you can use www.molview.org! Fill in each row of the table with the missing pieces of information.

Module 6 Virtual Lab: Oxidation & Reduction
Module 6 Virtual Lab: Oxidation & Reduction
Name:
Instructions: Oxidation and Reduction are two of the major types of organic chemistry reactions. In this activity you’ll continue to get practice with thinking about condensed formulas, skeletal structures, and identifying what class a molecule fits into AND you’ll get to practice determining whether a reaction is an oxidation or a reduction. Your task is to complete the below table. Each row contains information about a chemical reaction. It could tell you the reactant and product in which case you’ll have to figure out what type of reaction would produce that product from that reactant. Or it could tell you the reactant or product and the reaction type in which case you have to determine the class of the missing reactant or product and give an example. If you need help visualizing or drawing things remember you can use www.molview.org!
