Document Summary

Organic: those molecules and compounds that contain bother carbon and hydrogen. Functional group: a specific combination of bonded atoms that always has the same chemical properties and therefore always reacts in the same way, regardless of the carbon skeleton to which it is attached. The configuration of the functional groups determines the properties of the biomolecule. The attached functional groups determine not only the polarity of an organic molecule but also the types of reactions it will undergo. Isomers: organic molecules that have identical molecular formulas but different arrangements of atoms, variations in the molecular structure of a molecule. Polymers: constructed by linking together a large number of the same type of subunit. Dehydration reaction: chemical reaction in which a water molecule is released during the formation of a covalent bond. Hydrolysis reaction: splitting of a chemical bond by the addition of water, with the h+ going to one molecule and the oh+ going to the other.
