Organic Chemistry 8th Edition - Solutions by Chapter

A !CH2CH"CH2 group.

A type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle and thereby transforms (or “decays”) into an atom with a mass number 4 less and atomic number 2 less. (Section 21.1)

The most efficient arrangements for packing atoms, molecules, or ions in a crystal. (11.4)

Loss of CO2 from a carboxyl group.

A type of magnetism that causes a substance with no unpaired electrons to be weakly repelled from a magnetic field. (Section 9.8)

A unimolecular b-elimination reaction

The branch of chemistry that deals with the relationships between electricity and chemical reactions. (Chapter 20: Introduction)

Strands of a polymer that are generated when the polymer is heated, forced through small holes, and then cooled.

A compound capable offunctioning as an electron pair donor.

Plasma particles, density 1.02–1.06 g/mL, consisting of approximately 26% proteins, 50% cholesterol, 21% phospholipids, and 4% triglycerides.

The nucleophile in a Michael reaction.

A compound that rotates plane-polarized light.

On an aromatic ring, the C4position.

A phosphoric monoester, which is the simplest kind of phosphoglyceride.

From the Greek, poly 1 meros, meaning many parts. Any long-chain molecule synthesized by linking together many single parts called monomers

A measure of the force exerted on a unit area. In chemistry, pressure is often expressed in units of atmospheres (atm) or torr: 760 torr = 1 atm; in SI units pressure is expressed in pascals (Pa). (Section 10.2)

An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to one carbon and two hydrogens

A solution containing equal amounts of both enantiomers.

A carbohydrate that is oxidized upon treatment with Tollens’ reagent, Fehling’s reagent, or Benedict’s reagent.

A carbocation in which the positive charge resides on a vinylic carbon atom. This type of carbocation is very unstable and will not readily form in most cases.
