Question | Answer |
diamond | is a crystalline form of carbon in which each carbon atom is bonded strongly to four other carbon atoms |
graphite | each carbon atom is bonded tightly to three other carbon atoms in flat layers |
fullerene | carbon atoms arranged in a shape of hollow sphere |
nanotube | carbon atoms are arranged in the shape of a long hollow cylinder |
organic compound | can be found in living things, products made from living things, and materials produced artificially in laboratories |
hydrocarbon | is a compound that contains only the elemnts carbon and hydrogen |
structural formula | show the kind, number, and arrangement of atoms in a molecule |
isomer | compounds that have the same chemical formula but different structural formulas |
saturated hydrocarbon | each carbon atom filled up with hydrogen |
unsaturated hydrocarbon | hydrocarbons with double and triple bonds having fewer hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom |
substituted hydrocarbon | atoms of other elements replace one or more hydrogen atoms, They include halogen-containing compounds, alcohols, and organic acids |
hydroxyl group | -OH group made of hydrogen atom and oxygen atom. It can substitute for hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon |
ester | is a compound made by chemical combining an alcohol and an organic acid |
polymer | a very large molecule made of a chain of smaller molecules bonded together. |
monomer | the small molecules making up a polymer |
protein | are formed from smaller molecules called amino acids |
amino acid | is a monomer that is a building block of proteins.The properties depend on which amino acids are used and in what order |
plastic | synthetic polymers that can be molded or shaped are the most common products |
composite | combines two or more substances in a new material with different properties |
carbohydrate | is an energy-rich organic compound made of elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen |
glucose | most important sugars in your body sometimes called blood sugar |
complex carbohydrate | is a polymer made of smaller molecules that are simple carbohydrates bonded to one another |
starch | plants store energy in the form of the complex carbohydrate |
cellulose | plants build strong stems and roots with this complex carbohydrate and other polymers |
lipid | are energy-rich compounds made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen include fats, oils, waxes and cholesterol and release twice as much energy in your body as do carbohydrates and mix poorly with water |
fatty acid | all fats and oils are made with 3 and 1 alcohol named glycerol |
cholesterol | a waxy substance found in all animal cellsto build cell structure and serve as chemical messengers comes from animals not plants |
nucleic acid | are very large organic molecules made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus |
DNA | deoxyribonucleic acid (nucleic acid)made of different kinds of small molecules connected in a pattern of nucleotides (4) |
RNA | ribonucleic acid (nucleic acid) made of different kinds of small molecules connected in a pattern of nucleotides (4) |
nucleotide | The building blocks of nucleic acids. |
