Key Chemistry Terms and definitions covered in this textbook
-
Alkyl group
A group derived by removing a hydrogen from an alkane; given the symbol R!
-
anomeric carbon
The C1 position of the cyclic hemiacetal of an aldose or the C2 position of the cyclic hemiacetal of a ketose.
-
biodegradable polymers
Polymers that can be broken down by enzymes produced by soil microorganisms.
-
catalyst
A substance that changes the speed of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing a permanent chemical change in the process. (Section 14.7)
-
covalent-network solids
Solids in which the units that make up the three-dimensional network are joined by covalent bonds. (Section 12.1)
-
Electron affinity
Energy added or released when an electron is added to an atom or molecule.
-
enantiomer
A nonsuperimposable mirror image.
-
Enantiotopic groups
Atoms or groups on an atom that give a chiral center when one of the groups is replaced by another group. A pair of enantiomers results. The hydrogens of the CH2 group of ethanol, for example, are enantiotopic. Replacing one of them by deuterium gives (R)-1-deuteroethanol; replacing the other gives (S)-1-deuteroethanol. Enantiotopic groups have identical chemical shifts in achiral environments but different chemical shifts in chiral environments.
-
Excited state
A state of a system at higher energy than the ground state.
-
fibers
Strands of a polymer that are generated when the polymer is heated, forced through small holes, and then cooled.
-
homotopic
Protons that are interchangeable by rotational symmetry.
-
hydration
Solvation when the solvent is water. (Section 13.1)
-
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
A spectroscopic technique that gives information about the number and types of atoms in a molecule, for example, hydrogens (1 H!NMR) and carbons (13C!NMR)
-
oxirane
A cyclic ether containing a three-membered ring system. Also called an epoxide.
-
precipitation reaction
A reaction that occurs between substances in solution in which one of the products is insoluble. (Section 4.2)
-
radical initiator
A compound with a weak bond that undergoes homolytic bond cleavage with great ease, producing radicals that can initiate a radical chain process.
-
Secondary (2°) amine
An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to two carbons and one hydrogen
-
Strecker synthesis
A synthetictechnique for preparing racemic a-amino acidsfrom aldehydes.
-
tetravalent
An element, such as carbon, that forms four bonds.
-
VSEPR theory
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory, which can be used to predict the geometry around an atom.
