🗑
aliphatic compound   A straight-chain compound or a cyclic compound formed from a straight-chain compound.  
🗑
alkane   A straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds.  
🗑
alkene   A straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon that contains at least one double bond.  
🗑
alkyl group   An alkane with one hydrogen atom missing.  
🗑
alkyl halide   An organic compound that contains an alkyl group and a halogen as a functional group.  
🗑
alkyne   A straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon that contains at least one triple bond.  
🗑
amide   An organic compound of the general form O II R - C - NH 2 in which an amine takes the place of a hydroxyl group in a carboxylic acid.  
🗑
amine   An organic compound that contains ammonia (NH 3) as its parent molecule. Hydrogen atoms are often replaced by other atoms or molecules.  
🗑
amino acid   The building block of a protein; a carboxylic acid containing an amine group.  
🗑
aromatic compound   A compound that contains a benzene ring or has a structure resembling benzene's ring structure, including a cloud of delocalized electrons.  
🗑
aryl group (R-X group)   An aromatic compound with one hydrogen atom missing.  
🗑
aryl halide   An organic compound that contains an aryl group and a halogen as a functional group.  
🗑
carbohydrate   A polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone; a compound that can be hydrolyzed to form a polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone.  
🗑
carbonyl group (C=O group)   A carbon atom with a doubly bonded oxygen atom attached to it.  
🗑
carboxyl group (COOH group)   A carbon atom with a doubly bonded oxygen atom and hydroxide group attached to it.  
🗑
carboxylic acid   An organic compound of the general from OH I R - C = O that has a carboxyl group in its structure.  
🗑
condensation reaction   An organic reaction in which two compounds combine to produce water molecules; the opposite of hydrolysis.  
🗑
cyclic aliphatic compound   An organic compound that has carbon chains bonded in ring shapes.  
🗑
delocalized electron   An electron that can move between several different bonds; in benzene, an electron that can move throughout circular spaces above and below the plane of bonded nuclei.  
🗑
dipeptide   A molecule made of two amino acids joined by a peptide bond.  
🗑
disaccharide   A carbohydrate composed of two monosaccharide units.  
🗑
ester   An organic compound of the general form O II R - C - O - R' in which a hydrogen atom in the carboxyl group is replaced with an alkyl group.  
🗑
esterification   A condensation reaction that produces an ester when a carboxylic acid combines with an alcohol.  
🗑
ether (R-O-R' group)   An organic compound in which an oxygen atom links two alkyl groups.  
🗑
fat   A lipid formed from a glycerol backbone and three fatty acids (carboxylic acids) in which the carbon chains are saturated. It is solid at room temperature.  
🗑
fatty acid   A carboxylic acid that has a carbon chain 12-20 carbon atoms long. This type of acid is obtained by the hydrolysis of animal fat or vegetable oils.  
🗑
functional group   An atom or group of atoms that can substitute for hydrogen in a hydrocarbon and that imparts characteristic chemical properties to that hydrocarbon.  
🗑
glycerol   A three-carbon molecule with three -OH groups that combines with fatty acids to form a fat or oil.  
🗑
hydrocarbon   An organic, nonpolar compound containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms.

🗑
monosaccharide   A three- to six-carbon carbohydrate with attached hydroxyl groups and either an aldehyde or a ketone group that cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler compounds; a simple sugar such as glucose.  
🗑
nucleic acid   A large molecule that stores and translates genetic information in living cells and consists of nucleotides.  
🗑
nucleotide   The "building block" of a nucleic acid like DNA or RNA. It is made of a sugar unit, a phosphate group, and nitrogen-containing base. They are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil.  
🗑
oil   A lipid formed from a glycerol backbone and three fatty acids (carboxylic acids) in which the carbon chains are unsaturated. It is liquid at room temperature.  
🗑
organic compound   A covalently bonded carbon compound, with the exception of carbonates, carbon oxides, and carbides. These molecules are associated with the chemistry of life.
