== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Organic Chemistry''' β The study of carbon-containing compounds. * '''Hydrocarbon''' β An organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon (e.g., Alkanes, Alkenes). * '''Functional Group''' β A specific group of atoms within a molecule that is responsible for its characteristic chemical reactions (e.g., Alcohols, Carboxylic Acids). * '''Isomer''' β Molecules with the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements (e.g., butane vs. isobutane). * '''Covalent Bond''' β A chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. * '''Alkane''' β Saturated hydrocarbons with only single bonds (e.g., Methane, Propane). * '''Alkene''' β Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond (e.g., Ethylene). * '''Alkyne''' β Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (e.g., Acetylene). * '''Aromatic Compound''' β Compounds containing a benzene ring (a stable ring of six carbon atoms). * '''Polymer''' β A large molecule made of many repeating sub-units (monomers) (e.g., Plastic, Protein). * '''Nucleophile''' β An "electron-rich" atom or molecule that donates an electron pair to form a bond. * '''Electrophile''' β An "electron-poor" atom or molecule that accepts an electron pair to form a bond. * '''Chirality''' β A property of asymmetry where a molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image ("handedness"). * '''Saponification''' β The chemical reaction that produces soap from fats and a strong base. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
