,Electronegativity A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical
compound to attract electrons. Increases as you
move up and to the right of the periodic table
Primary Carbon a carbon bonded to only one other carbon
Secondary Carbon carbon bonded to two other carbons
Tertiary Carbon carbon bonded to three other carbons
Quaternary Carbon carbon bonded to four other carbons
Saturation and Unsaturation Single bonds are saturated, while double and triple
bonds are unsaturated
Heteroatoms Atoms in an organic compound other than carbon
and hydrogen. Includes:
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Phosphorus
Sulfur
Halides
, Halides Molecules that contain a halogen ion plus one or
more other elements. Br, Cl, F, and I
Naturally occurring organofluorine compounds are
rare
- but 20% of all pharmaceuticals contain fluorine,
including Prozac.
Hydrocarbons Compounds composed of only carbon and
hydrogen
Alkane A saturated hydrocarbon with the general formula
CnH2n+2
Alkene Unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least one
carbon-to-carbon double bond. Noted by the
suffix "-ene." general formula of CnH2n
