A bond formed from the electrostatic attraction between ions with different charges. This typically consists of a metal (cation) and a nonmetal (anion). A metal loses electrons to form a cation and some non-metal gains those electrons to form an anion.

Ionic Bond

It occurs when a hydrogen atom has an electromagnetic attractive interaction with an electronegative atom.

Hydrogen Bonding

An organic molecule containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms.

Hydrocarbon

An atom, or group of atoms, that is responsible for reactivity of the molecule it is a part of.

Functional Groups

A neutral atom containing an unpaired electron.

Free Radicals

A hydrocarbon containing a carbonyl (C=O) adjacent to an ether (C-O-C) linkage.

Esters

A hydrocarbon containing a C-O-C unit.

Ethers

A molecule that seeks out electrons, also known as a Lewis Acid or an electron pair acceptor.

Electrophile

Electronegativity is a measure of the attraction an atom has for electrons.

Electronegativity

A bond where four electrons are shared between two atoms.

Double Bond

The process by which proteins lose their 3-D (tertiary and secondary) structure by application of an external stress, most often heat.

Denatured

The removal of water from a molecule.

Dehydration

A very strong attraction between two or more atoms that are sharing their electrons.

Covalent Bond

Isomers that differ in the order the atoms are placed. They have the same number of atoms, just in a different order.

Constitutional Isomers

An atom with four different atoms or groups attached to it.
