A carbocation in which the positive charge is adjacent to a carbon-carbon double bond.

For proteins, a feature of secondary structure that forms when a portion of the protein twists into a spiral.

A high-energy molecular orbital resulting from the destructive interference between atomic orbitals.

As protons are added one by one to the nucleus to build up the elements, electrons similarly are added to the atomic orbitals. (7.9)

A chemical bond formed between two atoms by sharing one or more pairs of electrons.

In radical reaction mechanisms, a step in which a bond forms between the alpha (a) and beta (b) positions. As a result, a single bond at the b position is cleaved, causing the compound to fragment into two pieces.

A conformation about a single bond of an alkane in which two groups on adjacent carbons lie at a dihedral angle of 60°

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

The heat given off during a reaction.

The combination of atomic orbitals of different types

The gradual decrease in atomic and ionic radii with increasing atomic number among the lanthanide elements, atomic numbers 57 through 70. The decrease arises because of a gradual increase in effective nuclear charge through the lanthanide series. (Section 23.1)

The intermediateformed during oxymercuration.

The melting point at 1 atm pressure. (Section 11.6)

A building block of nucleic acids, consisting of d-ribose or 2-deoxy-d-ribose bonded to a heterocyclic aromatic amine base by a b-N-glycosidic bond

A form of isomerism in which the two forms of a compound (stereoisomers) are nonsuperimposable mirror images. (Section 23.4)

Possessing the ability to rotate the plane of polarized light. (Section 23.4)

A polymer formed from the polymerization of vinyl chloride (H2CRCHCl).

A bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction.

A ribonucleic acid that carries a specifi c amino acid to the site of protein synthesis on ribosomes

Rules for predicting the wavelength of maximum absorption for a compound with extended conjugation.
