A threestep process that converts an alkyl halide into a methyl ketone with the introduction of three new carbon atoms.

Refers to the capacity of a substance to either add or lose a proton 1H+2. (Section 16.2)

In mass spectrometry, the tallest peak in the spectrum, which is assigned a relative value of 100%.

A structure that bears a positive charge.

The area of chemistry concerned with the speeds, or rates, at which chemical reactions occur. (13.1)

An element that forms two bonds, such as oxygen.

An unsaturated compound derived by the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone and a secondary amine followed by loss of H2O; R2C"CR!NR2

In NMR spectroscopy, a complex signal which is a combination of all of the electrical impulses generated by each type of proton.

The structure of the transition state for an exothermic step looks more like the reactants of that step than the products. Conversely, the structure of the transition state for an endothermic step looks more like the products of that step than the reactants.

An amine in which nitrogen is one of the atoms of a ring

A compound with the structure R2CRN!NH2.

A hydrogen atom with two electrons in its valence shell; H:!

Solids that are composed of ions. (Section 12.1)

A term that describes the position of equilibrium for a reaction: Keq = 3H3O+ 4 3A- 4 3HA4 3H2O4

The study ofthe interaction between matter and an energysource other than electromagnetic radiation. Massspectrometry is used primarily to determine the molecular weight and molecular formula of a compound.

A spherical arrangement of organic molecules in water solution clustered so that their hydrophobic parts are buried inside the sphere and their hydrophilic parts are on the surface of the sphere and in contact with water

The NO+ ion, which is formed when NaNO2 is treated with HCl.

The sign of the wave function at particular coordinates in space, either plus or minus. Phasing is often represented by colors, such as red or blue

Any chemical species that contains one or more unpaired electrons.

An element, such as carbon, that forms four bonds.
