Hydrocarbon: The two simplest forms of this are methane and ethane.
Alkane: The carbon atoms in an ________ can be arranged in a straight chain that has branches.
Straightchain alkane: An alkane that contains any number of carbon atoms, one after the other, in a chain.
Homologous series: Series of compounds related by a constant increment of change.
Condensed Structural Formula: A structural formula that leaves out some bonds and/or atoms.
Substituent: An atom or group of atoms that can take the place of a hydrogen atom on a parent hydrocarbon molecule.
Alkyl group: A hydrocarbon substituent that is derived from an alkane.
Branchedchain alkane: An alkane with one or more alkyl groups.
Saturated compound: Alkanes are _______ because the only bonds in alkanes are single covalent bonds.
Unsaturated compound: The ratio of hydrogen atoms to carbon atoms is lower in an _______ than in a saturated compound.
Alkene: A hydrocarbon that contains one or more carbon-carbon double covalent bonds.
Alkyne: Like alkenes, _______ are unsaturated compounds.
Isomers: Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different molecular structures.
Constitutional isomers: _______________ are compounds that have the same molecular formula, but the atoms are joined together differently.
Stereoisomers: Molecules in which the atoms are joined in the same order, but the positions of the atoms in space are different.
Cistrans isomers: Also known as geometric isomers.
Cis configuration: Similar groups are on the same side of the double bond.
Trans configuration: When similar groups extend from opposite sides of the double bond.
Asymmetric carbon: A carbon with four different atoms or groups attached.
Enantiomers: Unlike other isomers, ________ have identical physical properties such as boiling points and densities.
Cyclic hydrocarbon: A compound that contains a hydrocarbon ring.
Cycloalkane: A cyclic hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds, and is therefore saturated.
