|
amino group |
A functional group that consists of a nitrogen atom bond to twohydrogen atoms (-NH2) |
|
|
carbonyl group |
A functional group present in aldehydes and ketones and consisting of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom (-C=O) |
|
|
carboxyl group |
A functional group present in organic acids and consisting of a single carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atoms ad also bonded to a hydroxylgroup (-COOH) |
|
|
cis |
Arrangement of two non-carbon atoms, each bound to one of the carbons in a carbon-carbon double bond, where the two non-carbon atoms are on the same side relative to the double bond.
|
|
|
enantiomer |
One of two molecules that are mirror images of each other.
|
|
|
functional group |
A specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to thecarbon skeletons of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions |
|
|
geometric isomer |
One of several organic compounds that have the same molecularformula but differ in the spatial arrangements of their atoms around a double bond |
|
|
hydrocarbon |
An organic molecule consisting of only carbon and hydrogen |
|
|
hydroxyl group |
A functional group consisting of a hydrogen atoms joined to anoxygen atoms by a polar covalent bond. Molecules possessing this group are solublein water and are called alcohols (-OH)
|
|
|
isomers |
One of several organic molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures and therefore different properties. |
|
|
organic chemistry |
The study of carbon or organic compounds. |
|
|
phosphate group |
A functional group important in energy transfer which contains a phosphorus atom bonded to carbon and 4 oxygen atoms. |
|
|
structural isomer |
One of several organic molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in the covalent branching arrangements of their atoms. |
|
|
sulfhydryl group |
A functional group consisting of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom (-SH) |
|
|
thiol |
An organic compound which contains a sulfhydryl group |
|
|
trans |
Arrangement of two non-carbon atoms, each bound to one of the carbons in acarbon-carbon double bond, where the two non-carbon atoms are on the oppositeside relative to the double bond |
