| 1291342132 | Organic Chemistry | The study of carbon compounds (organic compounds). | 1 | |
| 1291342133 | Hydrocarbon | An organic molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen | 2 | |
| 1291342134 | Isomer | One of several compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures and therefore different properties. The three types are structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers. | 3 | |
| 1291342135 | Structural Isomer | One of several compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the covalent arrangements of their atoms. | 4 | |
| 1291342136 | Geometric Isomer | One of several compounds that have the same molecular formula and covalent arrangements but differ in the spatial arrangements of their atoms owing to the inflexibility of double bonds. | 5 | |
| 1291342137 | Enantiomer | One of two compounds that are mirror images of each other. | 6 | |
| 1291342138 | Functional Group | A specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeletons of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions. | 7 | |
| 1291342139 | Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) | An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions in cells. | 8 |
