Chemistry: Matter & Change 1st Edition - Solutions by Chapter

A region of a polymer in which nearby chains are not linearly extended and are not parallel to one another.

An intermediate containing a positively charged carbon atom.

In electrocyclic reactions,a type of rotation in which the orbitals being used to form the new s bond must rotate in the same way.

The amount of fissionable material necessary to maintain a nuclear chain reaction. (Section 21.7)

Carbohydrates comprisedof two monosaccharide units joined via aglycosidic linkage between the anomeric carbonof one monosaccharide and a hydroxyl group ofthe other monosaccharide.

The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of a substance from the most stable forms of its component elements. (Section 5.7)

The time required for the concentration of a reactant substance to decrease to half its initial value; the time required for half of a sample of a particular radioisotope to decay. (Sections 14.4 and 21.4)

For substituted cycloalkanes, a drawing style used to clearly identify which groups are above the ring and which groups are below the ring. (See also Sect. 4.14.)

When treated with a strong base, a quaternary ammonium halide undergoes b-elimination by an E2 mechanism to give the less-substituted alkene as the major product

A polymer constructed from a single type of monomer.

A biomolecule isolated from plant or animal sources by extraction with nonpolar organic solvents, such as diethyl ether and hexane.

A measure of the amount of material in an object. It measures the resistance of an object to being moved. In SI units, mass is measured in kilograms. (Section 1.4)

A step-by-step description of how a chemical reaction occurs.

The power to which the concentration of a reactant is raised in a rate law. (Section 14.3)

An addition or substitution reaction in which one of two or more possible products is formed in preference to all others that might be formed.

A mixture of substances that has a uniform composition; a homogeneous mixture. (Section 1.2)

A quantum number associated with the electron spin; it may have values of +12 or -12. (Section 6.7)

Highly crosslinked polymers that are generally very hard and insoluble.

A protein used to transport molecules or ions from one location to another. Hemoglobin is a classic example of a transport protein, used to transport molecular oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues of the body.

The minimum distance of approach to an atom that does not cause nonbonded interaction strain.
