Organic Chemistry

2. A type of distillation used to separate crude oil based on boiling points
5. A fuel derived from renewable biological sources, such as ethanol from sugar beet
7. The type of reaction mechanism where a halogen atom replaces a hydrogen atom in an alkane
9. The process of breaking down long-chain alkanes into smaller, more useful molecules
12. The anaerobic breakdown of glucose by yeast to produce ethanol and Carbon dioxide
14. An electron-pair acceptor that is attracted to areas of high electron density
15. The organic product formed when a secondary alcohol is oxidized

1. A hydrocarbon containing only single carbon-carbon bonds
3. The small repeat unit used to create an addition polymer
4. A reactive intermediate with a positively charged carbon atom
6. The region of an IR spectrum below 1500cm-1 unique to a specific compound
8. A reaction where a small molecule (like water or HBr) is removed from a reactant
10. An electron-pair donor, such as hydroxide or ammonia.
11. The product formed when a primary alcohol is oxidized and distilling off the product
13. The reagent used to distinguish aldehydes from ketones, forming a "silver mirror."
