Question | Answer |
organic chemistry | Study of all chemicals containing carbon |
uniqueness of carbon | able to bond with itself to form long chains or rings, bind covalently with other elements, bind to itself and other elements in different arrangements |
covalent compounds | a chemical compound formed by the sharing of electrons. Has low solubility, low melting points, electrical conductivity |
isomers | Compounds with the same formula but different structures. |
hydrocarbons | Compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen |
alkanes | a hydrocarbon containing only single covalent bonds |
alkenes | Hydrocarbons with one or more carbon |
alkynes | a carbon compound with a carbon |
methane | CH4 (hydrocarbon) |
ethane | C₂H₆ |
propane | C₃H₈ |
butane | C₄H₁₀ |
cyclic hydrocarbons | A hydrocarbon that forms a ring |
aromatic hydrocarbons | A special class of cyclic, unsaturated hydrocarbons that have a pleasant smell |
aromatic hydrocarbon uses | solvents in lacquers, paints and enamels |
substituted hydrocarbons | A hydrocarbon in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by atoms of other elements. |
functional group | Atoms or groups of atoms that will change the chemical properties of a hydrocarbon |
haloalkanes | organic molecules formed when a halogen or atoms are substituted for a hydrogen atom or atoms |
alcohols | organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups( |
methanol | CH3OH |
carboxylic acids | very weak acids with pungent odors... |
polymers | A large molecule consisting of many identical or similar molecular units, called monomers, covalently joined together in a chain. |
monomers | small unit that can join together with other small units to form polymers |
useful polymers | plastics and synthetic fibers |
polymerization | A chemical process that combines several monomers to form a polymer. |
polyethylene | consists of repeated units of ethylene monomers. used as a laxative...e.g. miralax |
polytetraflouroethylene | All about Teflon...used in cookware, valves and bearings also in lubricants |
