|
alcohol
|
Organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups.
|
|
|
aldehyde
|
An organic molecule with a carbonyl group located at the end of the carbon skeleton.
|
|
|
amine
|
An organic compound with one or more amino groups.
|
|
|
amino group
|
A functional group that consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms; can act as a base in solution, accepting a hydrogen ion and acquiring a charge of +1.
|
|
|
carbonyl group
|
A functional group present in aldehydes and ketones and consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom.
|
|
|
carboxyl group
|
carboxyl group
A functional group present in organic acids and consisting of a single carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and also bonded to a hydroxyl group. |
|
|
carboxylic acid
|
An organic compound containing a carboxyl group.
|
|
|
enantiomer
|
Molecules that are mirror images of each other.
|
|
|
functional group
|
A specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeletons of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions.
|
|
|
geometric isomer
|
geometric isomers
Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the spatial arrangements of their atoms. |
|
|
hydrocarbon
|
An organic molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen.
|
|
|
hydroxyl group
|
A functional group consisting of a hydrogen atom joined to an oxygen atom by a polar covalent bond. Molecules possessing this group are soluble in water and are called alcohols.
|
|
|
isomer
|
isomer
One of several organic compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures and therefore different properties. The three types of isomers are structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers. |
|
|
ketone
|
ketone
An organic compound with a carbonyl group of which the carbon atom is bonded to two other carbons. |
|
|
organic chemistry
|
The study of carbon compounds (organic compounds).
|
|
|
phosphate group
|
A functional group important in energy transfer.
|
|
|
structural isomer
|
structural isomers
Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the covalent arrangements of their atoms. |
|
|
sulfhydryl group
|
A functional group consisting of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom (—SH).
|
|
|
thiol
|
Organic compounds containing sulfhydryl groups.
