Definition
An organic compound containing copper or a type of aromatic ketone with a benzene ring attached to a carbon chain, found in plants.
Etymology
From Greek 'chalkos' (copper) plus the chemical suffix '-one' indicating a ketone functional group. Chalcones are plant pigments and precursors to flavonoids.
Kelly Says
Chalcones are hidden in fruits, flowers, and plants where they give color and act as sunscreen for the plant—and they might have health benefits for humans too, which is why scientists study them.
