| aromatic compound | an organic compound that contains the benzene ring structure, most have a distinctive smell |
| benzene | (C6H6) cyclic hydrocarbon whose carbon atoms are joined with alternating single and double bonds |
| carbohydrate | group of biological compounds, such as sugars and starches, with twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms |
| deoxyribonucleic acid | also called DNA, a type of essential biological compound found in the nuclei of cells that codes and stores genetic information |
| depolymerization | process using heat or chemicals to break a polymer chain into its monomer fragments |
| ester | a substituted hydrocarbon with a –COOC– group |
| hydrocarbon | compound containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms |
| isomers | compounds with identical chemical formulas but different molecular structures and shapes |
| lipid | group of biological compounds that contains the same elements as carbohydrates but in different arrangements and combinations, includes saturated and unsaturated fats and oils |
| monomer | small molecule that can combine with itself repeatedly to form a long chain |
| nucleic acid | essential organic polymer that controls the activities and reproduction of cells |
| nucleotide | complex, organic molecule that makes up DNA; contains an organic base, a phosphoric acid unit, and a sugar |
| organic compound | one of a large number of compounds that contain the element carbon |
| polyethylene | polymer formed from a chain containing many ethylene units; often used in plastic bags and plastic bottles |
| polymer | class of natural or synthetic substances made up of many smaller, simpler molecules, called monomers, arranged in large chains |
| protein | large, complex, biological polymer formed from amino acid units; make up many body tissues such as muscles, tendons, hair, and fingernails |
| saturated hydrocarbon | compound, such as propane or methane, in which all the carbon atoms are connected by single covalent bonds |
| substituted hydrocarbon | hydrocarbon with one or more of its hydrogen atoms replaced by atoms, or groups of atoms, of other elements |
| unsaturated hydrocarbon | compound, such as ethene or ethyne, that contains at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms |
| alcohol | compound, such as ethanol, that is formed when –OH groups replace one or more hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon |
