Functional Groups (Name to Structure)
Structure of an alkene
What are hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond?
Hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond
What is an alkyne?
Define organic chemistry
What is the study of structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds?
Structure of an alcohol
What is an organic compound containing a hydroxyl group (-OH)?
Unsaturated ring molecules with alternating pattern of double and single bonds within a ring
What is an arene or aromatic?
Define functional group
What is a particular grouping of atoms within a larger molecule which share a common chemical behavior? (OR What is the reactive part of a molecule?)
Structure of an amine
What is a compound that contain a carbon single-bounded to a nitrogen?
Compound with two hydrocarbon groups (alkyl, aryl, or vinyl) bounded to the same oxygen atom in a ring or in an open chain with a general structure of R - O - R’
What is an ether?
Not a functional group
What is an alkane?
Structure of an aldehyde
