22
Q

23

24
Q
functional isomers
A
alcohols ethers, aldehydes ketones, amines amides, carboxylic acide esters
25
isomer
organic compounds with the same molecular formula, but different structural formulas
26
structural isomer
move around hydrocarbons
27
geometric isomer
(cis or trans) across double bonds in hydrocarbons
28
positional isomer
functional groups on different carbons
29
functional isomer
different functional groups with same molecular formula
30
addition reaction
double or triple bonds are broken so C's may bond with other atoms
31
substitution reaction
a hydrogen on a hydrocarbon is replaced by a functional group
32
esterfication reaction
an organic acid reacts with a hydroxyl group on an alcohol to produce an ester and water
33
polymerization
when two smaller hydrocarbons are put together to form a larger hydrocarbon frequently water or hydrogen is released in process
34
combustion
products are carbon dioxide and water, hydrocarbon reacting in the presence of oxygen
35
elimination
atoms or bonds are removed or broken respectively to create a simpler smaller carbon chain
36
oxidation reaction
1∘ alcohol --> aldehyde --> carboxylic acid
2∘ alcohol --> ketone
carbon monoxide --> carbon dioxide
37
peptide linkage
amino acid --> protein
