Triple Bond

A chemical bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms, creating a strong connection that is found in certain organic and inorganic compounds.

Functional Groups

Distinct clusters of atoms present in molecules that drive the typical chemical reactions associated with these molecules.

Alkyne

Hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon triple bond, characterized by the generic formula CnH2n-2, used in organic synthesis and as precursors to various chemicals.

  • Understand the structures and properties of functional groups, including hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxylic acids, esters, and alkynes.
