Introduction to Organic Chemistry definitions Flashcards

Study of carbon-containing compounds, focusing on their structure, properties, and reactions.

Organic compound consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

A hydrocarbon with three carbon atoms, commonly used in fuel applications like barbecues.

An organic compound with an OH group, found in alcoholic beverages like wine.

Complex organic compound with carbon, nitrogen, and double bonds, found in coffee.

Organic compound with pi bonds and an OH group, found in roses.

A stable bond between carbon atoms, contributing to structural diversity in organic compounds.

A bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms, fundamental to organic compounds.

Variety in organic compound structures due to carbon's ability to form chains, branches, and rings.

A type of covalent bond resulting from the overlap of p orbitals, often found in double bonds.

A group of atoms attached to the main carbon chain, creating a branch in the structure.

A ring-like arrangement of atoms in a molecule, often formed by carbon atoms.

Characteristic of carbon-carbon bonds, contributing to their stability and structural diversity.

A feature of carbon-carbon bonds that enhances their strength and stability.
