| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| atom or group of atoms that is responsible for the specific properties of an organic compound | functional group |
| organic compounds that contain one or more hydroxyl group | alcohols |
| organic compounds in which one or more halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, or I) are substituted for one or more hydrogens in a hydrocarbon | alkyl halides |
| organic compounds in which 2 hydrocarbon groups are bonded to the same oxygen atom | ethers |
| organic compounds in which the carbonyl group is attached to a carbon atom at the end of a carbon-atom chain | aldehydes |
| organic compounds in which the carbonyl group is attached to carbon atoms within the chain | ketones |
| contain the carboxyl functional group that comes at the end of the carbon chain | carboxylic acid |
| organic compounds with carboxylic acid groups in which the hydrogen of the hydroxyl group has been replaced with an alkyl group | esters |
| organic compounds that can be considered to be derivatives of ammonia, NH3 | amines |
| one hydrogen atom in ammonia replaced by an alkyl group | primary amine |
| two hydrogen atoms in ammonia replaced by an alkyl group | secondary amine |
| three hydrogen atoms in ammonia replaced by an alkyl group | tertiary amine |
| one or more atoms replace another atom or group of atoms in a molecule | substitution reaction |
| an atom or molecule is added to an unsaturated molecule and increase the saturation of the molecule | addition reaction |
| two or more molecules or parts of the same molecule combine | condensation reaction |
| a simple molecule, such as water or ammonia, is removed from adjacent carbon atoms of a larger molecule | elimination reaction |
| large molecules made of many small units joined to each other through organic reactions | polymers |
| small units that make up polymers | monomers |
| a polymer made from 2 or more different monomers | copolymer |
| melts when heated and can be reshaped many times | thermoplastic polymer |
| does not melt when heated but keeps its original shape | thermosetting polymer |
| formed by chain addition reactions between monomers that contain a double bond | addition polymers |
| polymers formed by condensation rxns | condensation polymer |
| cross-linking process between adjacent polyisoprene molecules that occurs when the molecules are heated with sulfur atoms | vulcanization |
