Chem Ch. 20 Vocab
Across
- 2. cyclic hydrocarbons that contain single bonds only and can have rings with three, four, five, six, or more carbon atoms
- 4. a hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds
- 5. a category of stereoisomers that results from different arrangements of groups around a double bond
- 9. a hydrocarbon that contains at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms
- 12. the process by which petroleum can be separated into simpler components, called fraction, as they condense at different temperatures
- 14. a carbon atom that has four different atoms or groups of atoms attached to it; occurs in chiral compounds
- 16. organic compounds that contain one or more benzene rings as apart of their molecular structure
- 18. result from different arrangements of four different groups around the same carbon atom and have the same physical and chemical properties except in chemical reactions where chirality is important
- 20. the sidebranches that extend from the parent chain
- 21. onaromatic hydrocarbons, such as alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes
- 22. the process by which heavier fractions of petroleum are converted to gasoline by breaking the large molecules into smaller molecules
- 23. class of isomers whose atoms are bonded in different orders with the result that they have different chemical and physical properties despite having the same formula
Down
- 1. an unsaturated hydrocarbon with one or more double covalent bonds between carbon atoms in a chain
- 3. simplest organic compound composed only of the elements carbon and hydrogen
- 6. the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms in a branched-chain alkane,alkene, or alkyne
- 7. hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds between atoms
- 8. an organic compound that contains a hydrocarbon ring
- 10. an effect that occurs when polarized light passes through a solution containing an optical isomer and the plane of polarization is rotated to the right by a d-isomer or to the left by an l-isomer
- 11. a property of a compound to exist to the left (-l) and right (d-) forms; occurs whenever a compound contains an asymmetric carbon
- 13. two or more compounds that have the same molecular formula but have different molecular structures
- 14. a unsaturated hydrocarbon with one or more triple bonds between carbon atoms in a chain
- 15. all compounds that contain carbon with some primary exceptions
- 17. describes a series of compounds that differ from one another by repeating unit
- 19. a class of isomers whose atoms are bonded in the same order but are arranged differently in space
