Aldehydes Introduction Organic Chemistry

Introduction to Aldehydes Activity

Included in this resource:

Information page - This page covers the structure, bonding, naming, reactivity, oxidation, reduction and physical properties of aldehydes to an introductory level. It is a simple overview of aldehydes for a first time learner. Prior knowledge on hydrocarbons and atomic structure e.g. electrons and electronegativity is required, however no prior knowledge on aldehydes is required to access the material.

Question sheet - This page includes questions directly linked to the information page. Students extract knowledge from the information page and build on concepts e.g. naming aldehydes, identifying trends and commenting on bonding and reactivity.

Answer page - The answer page answers all the questions present in the question sheet.

Ideal for independent, student-led work (i.e. could be used for a substitute teacher) as all the information and answers are present in the resource. No accompanying books or presentations are required - no further preparation needed.
