Organic chemistry | The study of carbon compounds. |
Functional group | An atom or group of atoms within a molecule that has a characteristic structure and chemical behavior. |
Hydrocarbon | An organic compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen |
Alcane | A hydrocarbon that has only single bonds. |
Straight-chain alkane | An alkane that has all its carbons connected in a row. |
Branched-chain alkane | An alkane that has a branching connection of carbons. |
Isomers | Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures. |
Constitutional isomers | Compounds with the same molecular formula but different connections among their atoms. |
Condensed structure | A shorthand way of drawing structures in which C--C and C--H bonds are understood rather than shown. |
Conformation | The specific three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule. |
Substituent | An atom or group of atoms attatched to a parent compound. |
Alkyl group | The part of an alkane that remains when a hydrogen atom is removed. |
Methyl group | The --CH3 alkyl group |
Ethyl group | The -CH2CH3 alkyl group |
Propyl group | The straight-chain alkyl group -CH2CH2CH3. |
Isopropyl group | The branched-chain alkyl group -CH(CH3)2. |
Primary carbon atom | A carbon atom with one other carbon attached to it. |
Secondary carbon atom | A carbon atom with two other carbons attached to it. |
Tertiary carbon atom | A carbon atom with three other carbons attached to it. |
Quaternary carbon atom | A carbon atom with four other carbons attached to it. |
Combustion | A chemical reaction that produces a flame, usually because of burning with oxygen. |
Cycloalkane | An alkane that contains a ring of carbon atoms |
Line structure | A shorthand way of drawing structures in which atoms aren't shown; instead, a carbon atom is understood to be at every intersection of lines and hydrogens are filled in mentally. |
