Chemistry 7th Edition - Solutions by Chapter

A reaction that achieves the addition of water across a double bond in the presence of an acid catalyst.

Hormones that are secreted by the cortex (the outer layer) of the adrenal glands. Adrenocortical hormones are typically characterized by a carbonyl group or hydroxyl group at C11 of the steroid skeleton.

A radical reaction that achieves installation of a bromine atom at an allylic position.

Organic bases that have the functional group —NR2, where R may be H, an alkyl group, or an aromatic group. (24.4)

The group derived from toluene by removing a hydrogen from its methyl group.

A polymerization that involves sequential addition reactions, either to unsaturated monomers or to monomers possessing other reactive functional groups.

From the Greek, cheir meaning hand; an object that is not superposable on its mirror image; an object that has handedness.

A term describing a molecule or an ion that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. (Sections 23.4 and 24.5)

A compound in which two p bonds are separated from each other by exactly one s bond.

A signal of an NMR spectrum that is shifted toward the left (larger chemical shift) on the chart paper.

The steric interaction that results when two groups in a Newman projection are separated by a dihedral angle of 60°.

Atoms of the same element containing different numbers of neutrons and therefore having different masses. (Section 2.3)

Numbers of protons and neutrons that result in very stable nuclei. (Section 21.2)

A liquid crystal in which the molecules are aligned in the same general direction, along their long axes, but in which the ends of the molecules are not aligned. (Section 11.7)

A material that can be formed into particular shapes by application of heat and pressure. (Section 12.8)

For light, the orientation of the electric field.

A triglyceride having several carbon-carbon double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains of its three fatty acids.

Compounds containing a mercapto group (SH).

An excellent leaving group (OTs). transition state (Sect. 6.6): A state through which a reaction passes. On an energy diagram, a transition state corresponds with a local maximum.

The outermost occupied electron shell of an atom.
