General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life 4th Edition - Solutions by Chapter

A substance that is able to donate a H+ ion (a proton) and, hence, increases the concentration of H+1aq2 when it dissolves in water. (Section 4.3)

An atom or group of atoms bearing a negative charge.

An equilibrium property measured by the position of equilibrium in an acid-base reaction, as, for example, the acid-base reaction between ammonia and water.

Energetic electrons emitted from the nucleus, symbol 0-1e or b-. (Section 21.1)

A form of carbon produced when wood is heated strongly in a deficiency of air. (Section 22.9)

A naturally occurring solid containing hydrocarbons of high molecular weight, as well as compounds containing sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. (Section 5.8)

Atoms that lie in the same plane.

Tools that are used for drawing resonance structures and for showing the flow of electron density during each step of a reaction mechanism.

Removal of !H and !X from adjacent carbons; a type of b-elimination

For electromagnetic radiation, the number of wavelengths that pass a particular point in space per unit time.

A voltaic cell that utilizes the oxidation of a conventional fuel, such as H2 or CH4, in the cell reaction. (Section 20.7)

The less substituted product (alkene) of an elimination reaction.

Experimental conditions under which the composition of the product mixture is determined by the relative rates of formation of each product.

A region of space that can hold two electrons

A method for converting an alkene to an alcohol. The alkene is treated with mercury(II) acetate followed by reduction with sodium borohydride.

A C6H5 group.

A mathematical description of an electron that incorporates its wavelike properties.

The arrangement of polypeptide monomers into a noncovalently bonded aggregate.

A hydrocarbon that contains no p bonds.

A compound that contains a sulfur atom that has double bonds with two oxygen atoms and is flanked on both sides by R groups.
