Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 addition | hydrogenation and halogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons; A reaction in which atoms or groups of atoms bond toa double bond or triple bond. Addition reations include the addition of hydrogen (hydrogenation) and water (hydration) |
| alkene | C=C; An unsaturated hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond |
| alkyne | consists of at least one unsaturated hydrocarbon to a carbon-carbon triple bond |
| aromatic compounds | based on benzene; often have strong odors; in a ring shape |
| benzene | C₆H₆; A ring of six carbon atoms, each of which is attached to a hydrogen atom |
| cis isomer | An isomer of an alkene in which the hydrogen atoms in the double bond are on the same side |
| hydration | the process of combining with water, H- and -OH, bond to the carbon-carbon double bond to form an alcohol |
| hydrogenation | a chemical process that adds hydrogen atoms (H2) to an unsaturated oil |
| monomer | a simple compound whose molecules can join together to form polymers |
| polymer | a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers |
| saturated hydrocarbon | Straight-chain or branched chain saturated hydrocarbon in which all bonds between carbon atoms are single covalent bonds |
| trans isomer | a geometric isomers in which the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond. |
| unsaturated hydrocarbon | A compound of carbon and hydrogen in which the carbon chain contains at least one double (alkene) or triple (alkyne) carbon-carbon bond. An unsatturated compound is capable of an addition reaction with hydrogen,which converts the double or triple bonds to single carbon-carbon bonds |
