24
Q

functional isomers

A

alcohols ethers, aldehydes ketones, amines amides, carboxylic acide esters

25
Q

isomer

A

organic compounds with the same molecular formula, but different structural formulas

26
Q

structural isomer

A

move around hydrocarbons

27
Q

geometric isomer

A

(cis or trans) across double bonds in hydrocarbons

28
Q

positional isomer

A

functional groups on different carbons

29
Q

functional isomer

A

different functional groups with same molecular formula

30
Q

addition reaction

A

double or triple bonds are broken so C’s may bond with other atoms

31
Q

substitution reaction

A

a hydrogen on a hydrocarbon is replaced by a functional group

32
Q

esterfication reaction

A

an organic acid reacts with a hydroxyl group on an alcohol to produce an ester and water

33
Q

polymerization

A

when two smaller hydrocarbons are put together to form a larger hydrocarbon frequently water or hydrogen is released in process

34
Q

combustion

A

products are carbon dioxide and water, hydrocarbon reacting in the presence of oxygen

35
Q

elimination

A

atoms or bonds are removed or broken respectively to create a simpler smaller carbon chain

36
Q

oxidation reaction

A

1∘ alcohol –> aldehyde –> carboxylic acid
2∘ alcohol –> ketone
carbon monoxide –> carbon dioxide

37
Q

peptide linkage

A

amino acid –> protein
