Chemistry: The Central Science 14th Edition - Solutions by Chapter

Element in which the 5f orbitals are only partially occupied. (Section 6.8)

Specific site on a heterogeneous catalyst or an enzyme where catalysis occurs. (Section 14.7)

The product formed when the !CHO group of an aldose is oxidized to a !COOH group

A synthetic method that employs diethyl acetamidomalonate as the starting material and enables the preparation of racemic a-amino acids.

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. (Section 2.3)

A reaction in which benzene is reduced to give 1,4-cyclohexadiene.

A polydentate ligand that is capable of occupying two or more sites in the coordination sphere. (Section 23.3)

Properties that describe a substance’s composition and its reactivity; how the substance reacts or changes into other substances. (Section 1.3)

The most efficient arrangements for packing atoms, molecules, or ions in a crystal. (11.4)

Colors that, when mixed in proper proportions, appear white or colorless. (Section 23.5)

A conjugated diene or carbonyl is one in which the double bonds are separated by one single bond

A way to view furanose and pyranose forms of monosaccharides. The ring is drawn fl at and most commonly viewed through its edge with the anomeric carbon on the right and the oxygen atom of the ring to the rear

A cyclic compound whose ring contains more than one kind of atom. Oxirane (ethylene oxide), for example, is a heterocycle whose ring contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.

A catalyst that dissolves in the reaction medium.

A magneticfield generated by a spinning proton.

The product of the mass, m, and velocity, v, of an object. (Section 6.4)

A rule stating that the molecular ion of a compound with an odd number of nitrogen atoms has an odd m/z ratio; if zero or an even number of nitrogen atoms, the molecular ion has an even m/z ratio

The rule that states that an atomic orbital or molecular orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrons with opposite spin.

A rule stating that no two electrons in an atom may have the same four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, and ms). As a reflection of this principle, there can be no more than two electrons in any one atomic orbital. (Section 6.7)

An intermediate with tetrahedral geometry. This type of intermediate is formed when a nucleophile attacks the carbonyl group of a carboxylic acid derivative.
