Organic Chemistry, - Standalone Book 2nd Edition - Solutions by Chapter

An oxide that either reacts with a base to form a salt or with water to form an acid. (Section 22.5)

A hydrocarbon that lacks p bonds.

The positions that are adjacent to the vinylic positions of a carboncarbon double bond.

Streams of electrons that are produced when a high voltage is applied to electrodes in an evacuated tube. (Section 2.2)

Stereoisomers that have the same connectivity but a different arrangement of their atoms in space as a result of the presence of either a ring or a carboncarbon double bond.

A reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen, usually with the release of heat and light, to produce a flame. (4.4)

A compound containing a metal ion bonded to a group of surrounding molecules or ions that act as ligands. (Section 23.2)

A reaction in which the reaction rate is proportional to the concentration of a single reactant, raised to the first power. (Section 14.4)

A graphic method for determining the relative energies of p MOs for planar, fully conjugated, monocyclic compounds.

The heat given off during a reaction.

Any molecular vibration that leads to a substantial change in dipole moment and is observed in an IR spectrum.

Electrically charged atom or group of atoms (polyatomic ion); ions can be positively or negatively charged, depending on whether electrons are lost (positive) or gained (negative) by the atoms. (Section 2.7)

Any molecule or ion that can form a new covalent bond by donating a pair of electrons.

The symbol of an element surrounded by a number of dots equal to the number of electrons in the valence shell of the atom

A reaction in which an acid and a base react in stoichiometrically equivalent amounts; the neutralization reaction between an acid and a metal hydroxide produces water and a salt. (Section 4.3)

The ability of an atom or molecule to distribute its electron density unevenly in response to external influences.

The ease with which the electron cloud of an atom or a molecule is distorted by an outside influence, thereby inducing a dipole moment. (Section 11.2)

A polyester in which the carboxyl groups are derived from carbonic acid

An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to one carbon and two hydrogens

Matter that has both a definite shape and a definite volume. (Section 1.2)
