. Hydrocarbons are a parent group of carbon compounds with many sub functional groups. Carbon compounds are known to exist as linear chains, branched chains and cyclic rings Nomenclature is the system of assigning a proper name to a particular organic compound on the basis of ce..

Peptides containing more than 10 amino acids are called poly peptides. Poly peptides are formed by the linear sequence of amino acids. Some proteins are composed of two or more poly peptide chains. Relatively shorter peptides are known as oligopeptides whereas longer polymers are called p..

The monohalogen derivatives of alkanes are called alkyl halides. Their names are derived by naming the attached alkyl group to halogen and adding the name of the halide. For example, The prefix n- is used for alkyl group having continuous chain of C-atoms with no ..

The ribonucleoside triphosphates, namely, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP), cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and uridine triphosphate (UTP), floating free in the nucleus, serve as the raw material for RNA synthesis. They are formed by activation (phosphorylation) of ribonucleos..

The hydroxy derivatives of aliphatic hydrocarbons (compounds having their carbon atoms in chains and not in the form of rings) are called alcohols. When one, two or more hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon are replaced by a corresponding number of hydroxyl groups (-OH), alcohols can..

DNA is a double stranded molecule (double helix) with each strand being made up of many nucleotide units. Each nucleotide is made up of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule and a phosphoric acid molecule. Each DNA molecule has two such polynucleotide chains joined to each other by hydrog..

Introduction - This chapter contains oxygen compounds in which oxygen is bonded to a carbon atom through a double bond. The functional unit >C = O, present in these compounds is called carbonyl group. We limit our study now to compounds having an acyl group (R - C = O) is bonded to hydrogen, car..

Nomenclature of Aldehydes and Ketones - The IUPAC names of open chain aliphatic aldehydes and ketones are derived from the names of the corresponding alkanes by replacing the ending -e with -al and -one respectively. The following steps are followed: a) The longest carbon c..

Common names of ethers follow after the names of alkyl / aryl groups written as separate words in alphabetical order. The word ether is added at the end. In case of simple ethers, the prefix di is attached before the name of the alkyl group. Examples: C 2 H 5 - O - C 2 H 5 is Diethyl ether C 6 H 5 ..

Since carboxylic acids are amongst the earliest organic compounds to be isolated from nature, a large number of them are known by their common names. The common names end with the suffix-ic acid and have been derived from Latin or Greek names of their natural sources. For e.g., formic aci..
