Glossary
- Boat cyclohexane - A less-stable conformation of cyclohexane that somewhat resembles
a boat. - Bond - The attractive forces that create a link between atoms. Bonds may be covalent
or ionic. - Bond angle - The angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds.
- Bond length - The average distance between the centers of two atoms bonded together
in any given molecule. - Bond strength - The degree to which each atom linked to a central atom contributes to
the valency of this central atom. - Bonding molecular orbital -
- Bromonium ion -
- Brønsted-Lowry Acid^2 -

- Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priorities - A rule for assigning priorities to substituents off of carbon
in a double-bond or in a chiral center. - Carbocation -
- Carbonyl group - A functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an
oxygen atom: C=O. - Carboxylation - A chemical reaction in which a carboxylic acid group is introduced in a
substrate. - Carboxylic acid - An organic acid characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group.
- Chain reaction - A sequence of reactions where a reactive product or by-product causes
additional reactions to take place. - Chair cyclohexane -
- Chiral - A term chiral used to describe an object that is non-superposable on its mirror
image - Chiral center - A carbon atom bonded to four different groups
