The number of times the cycle of chain propagation steps repeats in a chain reaction.

The absence of two hydrogen atoms associated with a ring or a p bond.

A process in which a carboxylic acid is converted into an ester when treated with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst.

An atom or group of atoms that imparts characteristic chemical properties to an organic compound. (Section 24.1)

The addition of water.

A tentative explanation of a series of observations or of a natural law. (Section 1.3)

A compound containing a carbon-nitrogen double bond, R2C"NR’; also called a Schiff base

A compound in which the carbonyl group 1C “O2 occurs at the interior of a carbon chain and is therefore flanked by carbon atoms. (Section 24.4)

The intermediateformed during oxymercuration.

The ratio of the number of moles of one component of a mixture to the total moles of all components; abbreviated X, with a subscript to identify the component. (Section 10.6)
