Carbon Connection
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| alkane | a hydrocarbon containing only single covalent bonds; they are saturated hydrocarbons |
| alkene | any substance that contains a carbon-carbon double bond |
| alkyne | any substance that contains a carbon-carbon triple bond |
| atom | the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element |
| bond energy | energy required to break a bond between atoms |
| carbon | a naturally abundant non-metallic element that occurs in many inorganic and in all organic compounds |
| chemical bonding | any of several force, especially the ionic bond, covalent bond, and metallic bond by which atoms or ions are bound (held) in a molecule or crystal |
| chemical property | the ability of a substance to undergo chemical reactions and to form new substances |
| compressed natural gas | fossil fuel substitute for gasoline, mady by compressing mainly methane |
| covalent | a bond that holds two atoms together, which is formed by the sharing of a pair of electrons |
| compound | a substance composed of two or more elements united chemically in definite proportions |
| crude oil | petroleum in its liquid form |
| dependent variable | a variable that responds to the manipulated variable |
| element | a substance in which all of the ataoms have the same atomic number; a substance that cannot be broken down into anything that is both stable and simpler |
| energy | a source of usable power such as petroleum or coal |
| gasoline | a volatile mixture of flammable hydrocarbons derived chiefly from crude oil and used principally as a fuel for internal combustion engines |
| hydrocarbon | organic compounds of hydrogen and carbon whose densities, boiling points, and freezing points increase as their molecular weights increase. |
| hydrogen | tasteless, odorless gas, the lightest element, occurring in water and organic compounds |
| Independent variable | represents the factor being manipulated |
| intermolecular attractions | forces between two molecules |
| intramolecular attractions | forces between the atoms within the molecule |
| liquified petroleum gas | a flammable mixture of propane and/or butane used in heating appliances and vehicles |
| molecular mass | the sum of the masses of the atoms in a molecule |
| molecular formula | a chemical formula that shows the number and kinds of atoms in a molecule |
| molecule | a neutral chemically bonded group of atoms that act as a unit |
| natural gas | a componet of crude oil composed mainly of methane |
| organic | relating to or derived from living organisms containing the element carbon |
| oxygen | tasteless, odorless, gaseous element essential to plant and animal life |
| petroleum | a complex hydrocarbon occurring naturally in the earth in solid, liquid, or gaseous state |
| physical property | a property that can be observed without changing the composition of a substance |
| structural formula | a chemical formula that shows the arrangement of atoms in a molecule; each dash between two atoms indicates a pair of shared electrons |
