Organic chemistry

reactions involving the addition of atoms or groups of atoms to a molecule with multiple bonds.

un composé organique porteur d’un groupe hydroxyle.

 un hydrocarbure aliphatique est un hydrocarbure à chaîne carbone ouverte (linéaire ou ramifiée) ou comportant un ou plusieurs cycles non aromatiques.

 A saturated hydrocarbon ( where the atoms are attached to each other by single bonds) composed exclusively of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.

un hydrocarbure aromatique (ou arène) est un hydrocarbure comportant un ou plusieurs cycles dont les atomes de carbone sont reliés deux à deux par une liaison covalente simple et mettent en outre un commun un électron. Ces électrons forment une liaison délocalisée.

is composed of a carbon atom maintaining a double bond with an oxygen atom and two other bonds. When the carbonyl group acts as a secondary function, it is referred to as an oxo group.

 is a carbonyl group that also carries a hydroxyl group (-COOH).

 a chiral object is one that cannot be superposed on its image

Delocalisation of p-type electrons, for example in a sequence of alternating single and multiple bonds.

a covalent bond between two atoms is a chemical bond in which each bonded atom shares an electron from one of its outer layers to form a pair of electrons that forms the bond.
