Term
Organic Compounds
Definition
covalently bonded compounds containing carbon, excluding carbonates and oxides.
Term
Cantenation
Definition
the covalently binding of an element to itself to form chains or rings
Term
Hydrocarbons
Definition
are composed of only carbon and hydrogen; they are the simplest organic compounds.
Term
Isomers
Definition
compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures.
Term
Structural Formula
Definition
indicates the number and types of atoms present in a molecule and also shows the bonding arrangement of the atoms
Term
Structural Isomers
Definition
are isomers in which the atoms are bonded together in different orders
Term
Geometric Isomers
Definition
are isomers in which the order of atom bonding is the same but the arrangement of atoms in space is different
Term
Saturated Hydrocarbons
Definition
are hydrocarbons in which each carbon atom in the molecule forms four single covalent bonds with other atoms
Term
Alkanes
Definition
Hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds
Term
Cycloalkanes
Definition
are alkanes in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring or cyclic structure
Term
Alkyl Groups
Definition
are groups of atoms that are formed when one hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane molecule
Term
Natural Gas
Definition
is a fossil fuel composed primarily of alkanes containing one to four carbon atoms
Term
Petroleum
Definition
is a complex mixture of different hydrocarbons that varies greatly in composition
Term
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
Definition
are hydrocarbons in which not all carbon atoms have four single covalent bonds
Term
Alkenes
Definition
are hydrocarbons that contain double covalent bonds
Term
Alkynes
Definition
hydrocarbons with triple covalent bonds
Term
Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Definition
are hydrocarbons that have sim membered carbon rings and delocalized electrons
Term
Fnctional Group
Definition
is an atom or group of atoms that is responsible for the specific propeties of an organic compound
Term
Alcohols
Definition
are organic compounds that contain one or more hydroxyl groups
Term
Alkyl Halides
Definition
are organic compounds in which one or more halogen atoms are substituted for one or more hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon
Term
Ethers
Definition
are organic compounds in which two hydrocarbon groups are bonded to the same atom of oxygen
Term
Aldehydes
Definition
are organic compounds in which the carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom at the ened of a carbon atom chain.
Term
Ketones
Definition
are organic compounds in which the carbonyl group is attached to carbon atoms within the chain
Term
Amines
Definition
are organic compounds that can be considered to be dericatives of ammonia NH3
Term
Condensation Reaction
Definition
is one in which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine
Term
Elimination Reaction
Definition
is one in which a simple molecule, such as water or ammonia is formed from adjacent carbon atoms of a larger molecule
Term
Polymers
Definition
are large molecules made of many small units joined to each otehr through organic reactions
Term
Monomers
Definition
small units of polymers
Term
Copolymer
Definition
a polymer made from two or more different monomers
