Solutions for Chapter 21: Nuclear Chemistry

An elimination reaction in which a proton from the beta (b) position is removed together with the leaving group, forming a double bond.

Polymers that are formed via cationic addition, anionic addition, or free-radical addition.

A carbohydrate that contains an aldehyde group.

The pressure exerted by Earth’s atmosphere. (5.2)

A compound containing a Cl group and a hydroxyl group (OH) on adjacent carbon atoms.

In UV-Vis spectroscopy, the region of the molecule responsible for the absorption (the conjugated p system).

A type of secondary structure of DNA molecules in which two anti parallel polynucleotide strands are coiled in a right-handed manner about the same axis

In mass spectrometry, an ionization technique in which the compound is first dissolved in a solvent and then sprayed via a high-voltage needle into a vacuum chamber. The tiny droplets of solution become charged by the needle, and subsequent evaporation forms gas-phase molecular ions that typically carry one or more charges.

Triglycerides that are solids atroom temperature.

A twodimensional representation of a molecule; in these projections, groups on the right and left are by convention in front, while those at the top and bottom are to the rear.

A vacancy in the valence band of a semiconductor, created by doping. (Section 12.7)

An orbital formed by the combination of two or more atomic orbitals.

A solution that obeys Raoult’s law. (Section 13.5)

The sum of the number of rings and p bonds in a molecule.

During a reaction, when the configuration of a chirality center is changed.

A ligand that binds to the metal ion via a single donor atom. It occupies one position in the coordination sphere. (Section 23.3)

Refers to a compound that rotates the plane of plane-polarized light

A reaction that occurs between substances in solution in which one of the products is insoluble. (Section 4.2)

Groups that strongly activate an aromatic ring toward electrophilic aromatic substitution, thereby significantly enhancing the rate of the reaction.

In IR spectroscopy, the energy of a photon is absorbed and temporarily stored as vibrational energy
