3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Organic Chemistry.

• Alkane — An acyclic saturated hydrocarbon containing only carbon and hydrogen connected exclusively by single bonds, with formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ for a connected noncyclic molecule.
• Mesomeric effect — The persistent electron-density displacement a substituent produces through conjugated pi-bond or lone-pair resonance donation or withdrawal.
• Secondary Carbon — A secondary carbon is a saturated carbon center directly bonded to exactly two other carbon atoms, a local substitution-degree class used throughout organic structural reasoning.
