Chap 22 Organic Chemistry

AB
Addition ReactionWhen in its simplest terms an organic reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one,
AlcoholIn chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom, usually connected to other carbon or hydrogen atoms. In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom, usually connected to other carbon or hydrogen atoms.,
AldehydeAny of a class of highly reactive organic chemical compounds obtained by oxidation of primary alcohols, characterized by the common.,
AlkaneAn alkane in organic chemistry is a type of hydrocarbon in which the molecule has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms and so has no double bonds (they are saturated).,
AlkeneIs a hydrocarbon containing a double carbon-carbon bond,
Alkyl GroupA funtional group on an organic molecule which is derived from an alkane which has lost a hydrogen atom.,
Alkyl HalideOrganic compound in which halogen atoms have been substituted for hydrogen atoms in an alkane?,
AlkyneAre hydrocarbons that have a triple bond between two carbon atoms, with the formula CnH2n-2.,
AmineA compound derived from ammonia by replacing hydrogen atoms by univalent hydrocarbon radicals,
Aromatic HydrocarbonIs a hydrocarbon characterized by general alternating double and single bonds between carbons.,
BenzeneA colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. It evaporates quickly when exposed to air.,
Carboxylic AcidA substance containing the carboxyl group. The carboxylic hydrogen can be lost as a hydrogen ion, so these substances are also acidic. An example includes acetic acid.,
Condensation ReactionAny reaction in which two molecules react with the resulting loss of a molecule of water (or other small molecule); the formal reverse of hydrolysis,
CopolymerA polymer consisting of two or more different monomers,
CycloalkaneCyclic compounds that contain carbons and hydrogens. ,
Elimination ReactionA chemical reaction in which a molecule decomposes to two different molecules,
EsterFormed by reaction between an acid and an alcohol with elimination of water,
EtherAn organic compound having an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms.,
Functional GroupAn atom or group of atoms, such as a carboxyl group, that replaces hydrogen in an organic compound and that defines the structure.,
Geometric IsomerCharacterized by simple geometric forms in design and decoration,
HydrocarbonIs a substance sosisting only of carbon and hydrogen atonms.,
HydrocarbonAny of a class of compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon, as an alkane, methane, CH4, an alkene, ethylene, C2H4, an alkyne, acetylene, C2H2, or an aromatic compound, benzene, C6H6.,
IsomerA compound displaying isomerism with one or more other compounds.,
KetoneAny of a class of organic compounds having a carbonyl group linked to a carbon atom in each of two hydrocarbon radicals,
Natural GasIs a gas consisting primarily of methane, typically with 0-20% higher hydrocarbons (primarily ethane).,
PetroleumA thick, flammable, yellow-to-black mixture of gaseous, liquid, and solid hydrocarbons that occurs naturally beneath the earth's,
Saturated HydrocarbonIs an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.,
Structural FormulaA chemical formula showing the linkage of the atoms in a molecule diagrammatically, as H–O–H.,
Structural IsomerAny of two or more compounds with identical chemical formulas, such as propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol, that differ structurally in the sequence in which the atoms are linked. Structural isomers do not exhibit the same chemical behavior. Compare stereoisomer.,
Substitution ReactionA functional group in a particular chemical compound is replaced by another group,
Organic CompoundA covalently bonded compound that contains carbon, excluding carbonates and oxides.,
CatenationThe binding of an element to itself to form chains or rings,
CycloalkaneA saturated carbon chain that forms a loop or a ring,
Alkyl GroupA group of atoms that forms when one hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane molecule,
Unsaturated HydrocarbonA hydrocaron that has avaliable valence bonds, usually from double or triple bonds with Carbon.,
PolymerA large molecule that is formed by more than five monomers, or small units,
MonomerA simple molecule that can combine with other like or unlike mole cules to make a polymer,
