|
organic chemistry
|
the study of carbon compounds.
|
|
|
hydrocarbon
|
organic molecules consisting only of carbon and hydrogen.
|
|
|
isomer
|
compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures and hence different properties.
|
|
|
structural isomers
|
differ in the covalent arrangements of their atoms.
|
|
|
geometric isomers
|
have all the same covalent partnershipd, but they differ in their spatial arrangements.
|
|
|
enantiomer
|
molecules that are mirror images of each other.
|
|
|
functional group
|
a specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeleton of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions.
|
|
|
hydroxyl group
|
a hydrogen atom that is bonded to an oxygen atom, which in turn is bonded to the carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
|
|
|
alcohols
|
organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups
|
|
|
carbonyl group
|
consists of a carbon atom jioned to an oxygen atom by a double bond
|
|
|
aldehyde
|
if the carbonyl group is on the end of a carbon skeleton
|
|
|
ketone
|
if there is no carbonyl group at the end of the carbon skeleton.
|
|
|
carboxyl group
|
(-COOH) a functional group present in organic acids, consisting of a single carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and also bonded to a hydroxyl group.
|
|
|
amino group
|
(-NH2) consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and to the carbon skeletons.
|
|
|
amine
|
organic compounds with amino groups
|
|
|
sulfhydryl group
|
consists of a sulfur atom bonded to an atom of hydrogen.
|
|
|
thiol
|
organic compounds containing sulfhydryls
|
|
|
phosphate groups
|
have a phosphate ion covalently attached by one of its oxygen atoms to the carbon skeletons.
