A functional group consisting of hydrogen atoms joined to an oxygen atoms by a polar covalent bond. Molecules possessing this group are soluble in water and are called alcohols Hydroxyl group
One of several organic molecules with the same molecular formula but different structures and therefore different properties Isomers
The study of carbon or organic compounds Organic chemistry
A functional group important in energy transfer which contains a phosphorus atom bonded to carbon and four oxygen atoms Phosphate group
One of several organic molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in the covalent branching arrangements of their atoms Structural isomer
A functional group consisting of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom Sulfhydryl group
Inorganic compound which contains a sulfhydryl group thiol
Arrangement of two noncarbon atoms, each bound to one of the carbons in a Carbon carbon double bond, where the two noncarbon atoms are on the opposite side relative to the double bonds trans
Organic molecules have what as the predominant element? Carbon
Carbon can form how many bonds, allowing it to create many versatile molecules of varying lengths, position of double bonds and ring structures? 4
Carbon most commonly bonds with (blank) which is capable of one bond, (blank) which is capable of three bonds, and (blank) which is capable of two bonds? Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen
A (blank) is entirely made of carbon and hydrogen and is hydrophobic due to the nonpolar bonds between carbon and hydrogen items Hydrocarbon
What are molecules that have the same molecular formulas, thus the same elements and quantities and same molecular weight, but different structural formulas therefore they can vary in chemical behavior and properties? Isomers
Structural isomers differ in what? The carbon chain branching pattern
Geometric isomers differ in what? The arrangement around a double bond
CIS isomers have atom groupings on what side of the double bond? The same side
Trans isomers have atom groupings on what side of the double bond? The opposite side
Enantiomers contain an asymmetric carbon that is bound to how many different bonding partners? 4
What is the name for common collections of atoms that give particular characteristics to molecules that possess them? Functional groups
examples of functional groups are what? Methyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, phosphate
Carbon has an atomic number of what? Meaning it has the same number of electrons Six
What are long chains of carbons bonded to each other with the other bonds of the carbon satisfied by adding hydrogen atoms? Hydrocarbons
Bonds between adjacent carbon as well as those between the carbon and hydrogen are what do to their almost equal electronegativity values? Nonpolar covalent
The entire hydrogen carbon is neutral with no spots of transient charge which allows it to be what? Hydrophobic or water repelling
Carbon bonded to oxygen which is bonded to a hydrogen C-OH Hydroxyl
Organic compounds with -OH Alcohols
Hydroxyl is (blank) so it's soluble in water polar
