CH103 List of Key Terms - Chapter 10 Alcohol: a compound containing an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom; Alcohol Classification: primary (1°), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°), depending on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon bearing the -OH group; Aldehyde: a compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydrogen; a -CHO group; Amide: a functional derivative of a carboxylic acid in which an amino group replaces the -OH of the carboxyl group; Amine: an organic compound in which one, two, or three hydrogens of ammonia are replaced by carbon groups; RNH2, R2NH, or R3N; Amine Classification: primary (1°), secondary (2°), and tertiary (3°), depending on the number of carbon groups bonded to the nitrogen atom of the amino group; Amino Group: a nitrogen atom bonded to one, two, or three R groups, RNH2, R2NH, or R3N, where the symbol R represents a carbon group; Carbonyl Group: a C=O group; Carboxyl: carbonyl + hydroxyl group: a -COOH group; Carboxylic Acid: a compound containing a -COOH group; Carboxylic Ester: a derivate of a carboxylic acid in which a carbon group replaces the H of the carboxyl group; -COOR or -CO2R; Condensed Structural Formula: a shorthand method for writing organic structures in which hydrogens are grouped with the atom they are attached to. Functional Group: the group of atoms that gives a compound its identity; group of atoms within a molecule that shows a characteristic set of predictable physical and chemical behaviors; Hydroxyl (-OH) group: an -OH group bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom; Ketone: a compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon groups; Organic Chemistry: the study of carbon compounds;
