| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| alkyne | An unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains one or more triple covalent carbon-to-carbon bonds |
| alkyl group | A substituent group that consists of an alkane molecule from which one hydrogen atom has been removed |
| Which of types of reactions produce a small molecule by-product, such as water? | condensation and elimination |
| What are some types of addition reactions? What aren't? | Hydrohalogenation, hydrogenation, and hydration are types of addition reactions, but condensation is not. |
| Name the organic compound with the general formula R--”X and name its functional group: | alkyl halide, halogen. |
| substitution reaction | an organic chemical reaction in which an atom or a carbon group in a molecule of one organic compound is replaced with another atom or functional group to create a new compound. |
| A substitution reaction occurs when | a more electronegative atom replaces a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon molecule. |
| Which is NOT a good way to reduce polymer waste? | disposing of polymers directly into landfills or outlawing the use of plastics. |
| Name the organic compound with the general formula R-OH and name its functional group. | alcohol, hydroxyl. |
| organic chemistry | the branch of chemistry that deals with organic compounds |
| alkane | A saturated hydrocarbon that uses only single covalent bonds |
| substituent group | An atom or a group of atoms that replaces a hydrogen atom or a carbon group in an organic compound |
| addition reaction | will convert multiple covalent bonds to single covalent bonds to increase an organic molecule's saturation |
| Which is NOT one of the reasons that carbon forms so many compounds? | ionic bonding |
| Isomer | One or more compounds with the same chemical formula but different spatial arrangements |
| Condensation reaction | a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, producing a small molecule such as H2O as a byproduct |
| elimination reaction | a reaction in which a substituent is removed from a hydrocarbon |
| alkene | a hydrocarbon with at least one double bond |
| catentation | the bonding together of atoms of the same element to form covalently bonded chains or rings |
| Acronym | Mary eats peanut butter pizza, her husband Oscar never does |
