Modern Chemistry 1st Edition - Solutions by Chapter

A polyaromatic amide; a polymer in which the monomer units are an aromatic diamine and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid

In UV-Vis spectroscopy, the region of the molecule responsible for the absorption (the conjugated p system).

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

A term used to label a chiral molecule that rotates the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light to the right (clockwise). (Section 23.4)

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another.

The use of electrolysis to reduce or refine metals. (Section 20.9)

A collection of orbitals that have the same value of n. For example, the orbitals with n = 3 (the 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals) comprise the third shell. (Section 6.5)

Any process with a positive DH (the system receives energy from the surroundings).

The attractive forces between molecules.

A term that refers to the rate of a reaction.

During the polymerization process, compounds constructed from just a few monomers.

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

A reaction that takes place in a single step, without intermediates, and involves a cyclic redistribution of bonding electrons

A mixture of equal amounts of the dextrorotatory and levorotatory forms of a chiral molecule. A racemic mixture will not rotate the plane of polarized light. (Section 23.4)

A measure of the energy absorbed from radiation by tissue or other biological material; 1 rad = transfer of 1 * 10-2 J of energy per kilogram of material. (Section 21.9)

A reaction in which a compound undergoes a decrease in oxidation state.

A process in which a substance gains one or more electrons. (Section 4.4)

An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to two carbons and one hydrogen

The outermost occupied electron shell of an atom.

A method for converting a carbonyl group into a methylene group (CH2) under basic conditions.
