| 7274085348 | Organic Chemistry | The study of carbon compounds | 0 | |
| 7274085349 | Hydrocarbons | An organic molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. | 1 | |
| 7274085350 | Isomer | One of several organic compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures and therefore different properties. | 2 | |
| 7274085351 | Structural Isomer | Compounds with the same molecular formula but different covalent arrangement of atoms. | 3 | |
| 7274085352 | Geometric (cis-trans) Isomer | Isomers with the same covalent partnerships but different spatial arrangements of atoms around a carbon=carbon double bond. | 4 | |
| 7274085353 | Enantiomer | Molecules that are mirror images of each other. | 5 | |
| 7274085354 | Functional Groups | A specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeletons of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions. | 6 | |
| 7274085355 | 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 | |
| 7274085356 | 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 | |
| 7274085357 | 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 | |
| 7274085358 | Phosphate Group | A chemical group consisting of a phosphate atom bonded to four oxygen atoms; important in energy transfer. | 10 | |
| 7274085359 | Sulfhydryl Group | A chemical group consisting of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. | 11 | |
| 7274085360 | Alcohol | Organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups | 12 | |
| 7274085361 | Carbonyl Group | A functional group present in aldehydes and ketones consisting of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom. | 13 | |
| 7274085362 | Aldehyde | An organic molecule with a carbonyl group located at the end of the carbon chain. | 14 | |
| 7274085363 | Ketone | An organic molecule with a carbonyl group located in the middle of the carbon chain. | 15 | |
| 7274085364 | Carboxylic Acid | An organic compound containing a carboxyl group. | 16 | |
| 7274085365 | Amine | An organic compound containing an amino group. | 17 | |
| 7274085366 | Thiol | An organic compound containing a sulfhydryl group. | 18 | |
| 7274085367 | 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 |
