Modern Chemistry 1st Edition - Solutions by Chapter

An SR group.

The radius of an atom as defined by the distances separating it from other atoms to which it is chemically bonded. (Section 7.3)

The volume of a fixed amount of gas maintained at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the gas pressure. (5.3)

A reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen, usually with the release of heat and light, to produce a flame. (4.4)

Tables of data on absorption patterns of functional groups.

An aldol reaction that occurs between different partners.

A compound containing two hydroxyl groups (OH).

The equilibrium established between substances in two or more different phases, for example, between a gas and a solid or between a solid and a liquid. (Section 15.4)

Model of the atom with a nucleus containing protons and neutrons and with electrons in the space outside the nucleus. (Section 2.2)

A form of isomerism in which the two forms of a compound (stereoisomers) are nonsuperimposable mirror images. (Section 23.4)

The study of carbon-containing compounds, typically containing carbon–carbon bonds. (Section 2.9; Chapter 24:Introduction)

A molecule that possesses a nonzero dipole moment. (Section 8.4)

Individual Lewis structures in cases where two or more Lewis structures are equally good descriptions of a single molecule. The resonance structures in such an instance are “averaged” to give a more accurate description of the real molecule. (Section 8.6)

During a reaction, when the configuration of a chirality center remains unchanged.

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+).

The threedimensional conformations of localized regions of a protein, including helices and b-pleated sheets.

A selective reducing agent (NaBH3CN) that can be used for reductive amination.

The three-dimensional arrangement in space of all atoms in a single polypeptide chain.

A ribonucleic acid that carries a specifi c amino acid to the site of protein synthesis on ribosomes

A geometry adopted by an atom that has one lone pair and a steric number of 4.
