Living by Chemistry 2nd Edition - Solutions by Chapter

See alpha rays.

A group that can be readily installed and uninstalled. Used for regiochemical control during synthesis.

The distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. (9.4)

Covalent hydrides of boron. (Section 22.11)

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

A substance that forms complex ions with metal ions in solution. (23.3)

The separation on an NMR spectrum (in hertz) between adjacent peaks in a multiplet and a quantitative measure of the infl uence of the spin-spin coupling with adjacent nuclei.

The magnitude of charge of one mole of electrons: 96,500 C>mol. (Section 20.5)

The region of an IR spectrum that contains signals resulting from the vibrational excitation of most single bonds (stretching and bending).

Standard heat of combustion is the heat released when one mole of a substance in its standard state (gas, liquid, solid) is oxidized completely to carbon dioxide and water.

Water attracting. The term is often used to describe a type of colloid. (Section 13.6)

An alloy in which smaller atoms fit into spaces between larger atoms. The larger atoms are metallic elements and the smaller atoms are typically nonmetallic elements. (Section 12.3)

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)

A building block of nucleic acids, consisting of d-ribose or 2-deoxy-d-ribose bonded to a heterocyclic aromatic amine base by a b-N-glycosidic bond

The extent to which plane-polarized light is rotated by a solution of a chiral compound.

Polypeptide chains comprised of more than 40 or 50 amino acids.

A solvent that contains at least one hydrogen atom connected directly to an electronegative atom.

The amount of time required for a compound to exit from a gas chromatograph.

A reaction for which the ratio of products is determined solely by the distribution of energy among the products.

A geometry adopted by an atom with a steric number of 3. All three groups lie in one plane and are separated by 120°.
