Subject specific vocabulary

2. radical: Species with an unpaired electron.
4. isomers: Molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures.
6. Molecule containing hydrogen and carbon only.
8. isomers: Type of structural isomerism: Structural isomers that differ by having a different carbon chain.
12. series: A family of compounds with the same general formula and similar chemical properties. In a series, each member differs by the addition of a CH2 group, and there is a gradual change in physical properties.
13. isomers: Type of stereoisomerism: molecules which have different arrangement of groups around C=C.
14. reaction: A reaction where an atom/group replaces another atom/group.
15. A reaction involving the breaking of bonds due to reaction with water.
18. Elimination of hydrogen.
23. group isomers: Type of structural isomerism: Structural isomers that differ by having a different functional group.
24. Organic compounds containing C rings (not aromatic rings), also called alicyclic.
26. isomers: Type of stereoisomerism: molecules which are non-superimposable mirror images.
27. reaction: A reaction where a molecule joins to an unsaturated molecule to produce a saturated molecule.
28. reaction: A reaction where a molecule is lost from a saturated molecule to form an unsaturated molecule.

1. A positive ion with the positive charge on a C atom.
3. Organic compounds containing C chains and branches.
5. Lone pair acceptor.
7. chemistry: Study of compounds containing carbon.
9. isomers: Type of structural isomerism: Structural isomers that differ by having the functional group in a different position.
10. Elimination of water.
11. Lone pair donor.
16. Addition of hydrogen.
17. Molecules with the same molecular and structural formulae but a different spatial arrangement of atoms.
19. Molecule containing double bond(s).
20. Molecule containing no double bonds.
21. group: The atom or group of atoms that is responsible for most of the chemical reactions of a molecule.
22. Addition of water.
25. Organic compounds containing one or more benzene rings.
