A compound containing an !OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a carbon atom

Any reaction in which a new carbon-carbon bond to an alkyl group is formed.

An addition reaction in which two groups are installed on opposite sides of a p bond.

The addition of H2 across only one face of a p bond.

The mass of an atom in atomic mass units. (3.1)

A substance that is an H+ acceptor; a base produces an excess of OH-1aq2 ions when it dissolves in water. (Section 4.3)

Properties that describe a substance’s composition and its reactivity; how the substance reacts or changes into other substances. (Section 1.3)

An ion containing a central metal cation bonded to one or more molecules or ions. (16.10)

A three-dimensional shape that can be adopted by a compound as a result of rotation about single bonds.

A nonsuperimposable mirror image.

A process in which a system releases heat to its surroundings. (Section 5.2)

An electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction that installs an acyl group on an aromatic ring.

A principle stating that when we disturb a system at chemical equilibrium, the relative concentrations of reactants and

Cleavage by light.

A substance capable of dissociating more than one proton in water; H2SO4 is an example. (Section 16.6)

Elimination of two substituents at a metal center, causing the oxidation state of the metal to decrease by two.

A term used to indicate that exactly two alkyl groups are attached directly to a particular position. For example, a secondary carbocation has two alkyl groups attached directly to the electrophilic carbon atom (C+).

A process by which one or more compounds are removed from a mixture of organic compounds, based on a difference in solubility and/or acid-base properties.

The geometry of an atom with four bonds separated from each other by 109.5°.

A signal of an NMR spectrum that is shifted toward the right (smaller chemical shift) on the chart paper.
