| 7434043716 | Organic Chemistry | The study of carbon compounds | 0 | |
| 7434043717 | Hydrocarbons | An organic molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. | 1 | |
| 7434043718 | Isomer | One of several organic compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures and therefore different properties. | 2 | |
| 7434043719 | Structural Isomer | Compounds with the same molecular formula but different covalent arrangement of atoms. |  | 3 |
| 7434043720 | Geometric (cis-trans) Isomer | Isomers with the same covalent partnerships but different spatial arrangements of atoms around a carbon=carbon double bond. |  | 4 |
| 7434043721 | Enantiomer | Molecules that are mirror images of each other. |  | 5 |
| 7434043722 | Functional Groups | A specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeletons of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions. | 6 | |
| 7434043723 | Hydroxyl Group | A chemical group consisting of an oxygen atom joined to a hydrogen atom. Molecules possessing this group are soluble in water and are called alcohols. |  | 7 |
| 7434043724 | Amino Group | A chemical group consisting of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms can act as a base in solution, accepting a hydrogen ion and acquiring a charge of 1⁺ |  | 8 |
| 7434043725 | Carboxyl Group | A chemical group consisting of a single carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and also bonded to a hydroxyl group | 9 | |
| 7434043726 | Phosphate Group | A chemical group consisting of a phosphate atom bonded to four oxygen atoms; important in energy transfer. |  | 10 |
| 7434043727 | Sulfhydryl Group | A chemical group consisting of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. |  | 11 |
| 7434043728 | Alcohol | Organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups |  | 12 |
| 7434043729 | Carbonyl Group | A functional group present in aldehydes and ketones consisting of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom. |  | 13 |
| 7434043730 | Aldehyde | An organic molecule with a carbonyl group located at the end of the carbon chain. |  | 14 |
| 7434043731 | Ketone | An organic molecule with a carbonyl group located in the middle of the carbon chain. |  | 15 |
| 7434043732 | Carboxylic Acid | An organic compound containing a carboxyl group. |  | 16 |
| 7434043733 | Amine | An organic compound containing an amino group. |  | 17 |
| 7434043734 | Thiol | An organic compound containing a sulfhydryl group. |  | 18 |
| 7434043735 | Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) | An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive reactions in cells. |  | 19 |
