Chemistry: The Central Science 12th Edition - Solutions by Chapter

The process of introducing an acyl group, RCO! or ArCO!, onto an organic molecule.

The product formed when the C"O group of a monosaccharide is reduced to a CHOH group.

A compound containing a planar ring of continuously overlapping p orbitals with 4n+2p electrons.

A molecular orbital in which electrons have a lower energy than they would in isolated atomic orbitals

A system that enables the exchange of energy (usually in the form of heat) but not mass with its surroundings. (6.2)

A chemical reaction in which a single compound reacts to give two or more products. (Section 3.2)

Nonequivalent protons for which the replacement test produces diastereomers.

A symbol used to show that structures on either side of it are resonance-contributing structures

A cyclic ester.

A !CH2! group.

The concentration of a solution expressed as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent; abbreviated m. (Section 13.4)

In mass spectrometry, an odd molecular weight indicates an odd number of nitrogen atoms in the compound, while an even molecular weight indicates either an even number of nitrogen atoms or the absence of nitrogen.

A device that uses strong magnetic and electrostatic fields to accelerate charged particles. (Section 21.3)

A covalent bond between atoms whose difference in electronegativity is between approximately 0.5 and 1.9.

An instrument for measuring the ability of a compound to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light.

Any chemical species that contains one or more unpaired electrons.

A special type of stereoselective reaction in which the stereochemistry of the product is dependent on the stereochemistry of the starting material.

A triester formed from glycerol and three long-chain carboxylic acids.

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

A process that involves the removal of a carbon atom from an aldose. The aldehyde group is first converted to a cyanohydrin, followed by loss of HCN in the presence of a base.
