| when a hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane a _______ is formed | alkyl group |
| type formula for an alkyl group | CnH2n+1 |
| CnH2n+1 is the type formula for | alkyl group |
| the substances formed when an alkyl group attaches to Group VII elements are | alkyl halides |
| RX is the general formula for | alkyl halides |
| the general formula for alkyl halides is | RX |
| alkyl halide: carbon tetrachloride | CCl4 |
| alkyl halide: chloroform | CHCl3 |
| these hydrocarbons have multiple bonds between carbon atoms | unsaturated hydrocarbons |
| a large molecule made by linking together a number of monomers, or basic chemical units | polymer |
| the linking together of monomers or basic chemical units to form a polymer | polymerization |
| substances which contain one or more double bonds between two of the carbon atoms | alkenes |
| CnH2n is the type formula for | alkenes |
| the type formula for alkenes is | CnH2n |

| the simplest of the alkynes, known as a settling gas: | ethyne |
| any compound containing a resonance-stabilized ring such as benzene and its derivatives | aromatic |
| C6H6 is | benzene |
| a colorless flammable liquid used to synthesize many other chemicals | benzene |
| a solvent found in paint thinners, also used to manufacture TNT | toluene |
