Organic Chemistry

5. a compound of carbon and hydrogen containing only single bonds, no rings, and having the general formula CnH2n+2
6. have the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of the atoms in space
9. diagrammatic representation of a molecule showing every bond
10. a hydrocarbon that contains one carbon–carbon triple bond and the general formula CnH2n–2
12. where the atoms are connected in a ring
13. between a fuel and oxygen (usually) releasing heat energy.
15. compound composed of carbon and hydrogen and containing only single covalent
19. an atom or group of atoms attached to or part of a hydrocarbon chain that influence the physical and chemical properties of the molecule.
20. strong bond between two atoms formed by two pairs of electrons that are shared by the two nuclei.
21. a hydrocarbon that contains one carbon–carbon double bond and the general formula CnH2n
23. very strong bond between two atoms formed by three pairs of electrons that are shared by the two nuclei.
24. compounds that have the same molecular formula but a different semi-structural formula due to differences in the arrangement of the atoms.

1. compound containing carbon and hydrogen but possessing one or more double or triple bonds
2. structural representation where a molecule is represented by lines and vertices; carbons and hydrogens are not shown but assumed to be at each vertex and at the ends unless otherwise indicated.
3. has alkyl groups attached along the carbon chain
4. series of organic compounds with the same general formula, in which the formula of one molecule differs from the next by a —CH2 group
7. formed by one pair of electrons shared between two atoms
8. hydrocarbons based on straight and branched chains of carbon atoms
9. derived from the structural formula that shows the grouping of atoms in a molecule
11. carbon atoms connected in one continuous line without any branches
14. a reaction in which one molecule bonds covalently with another molecule without losing any other atoms; only one product is formed.
16. formula that shows the simplest numerical ratio in which atoms are combined molecular formula actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a substance.
17. compound containing only carbon and hydrogen
18. molecule made up of thousands of units (monomers) strung together into very long chains.
22. compound with the same structure as an alkane except that one or more of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced with halogen atoms.
