Hydrocarbons that contain one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds. They have the general formula CnH2n22, where n 5 2,3, . . . . (24.2)

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)

One-half the distance between the two nuclei in two adjacent atoms of the same element in a metal. For elements that exist as diatomic units, the atomic radius is one-half the distance between the nuclei of the two atoms in a particular molecule. (8.3)

A binary compound of carbon with a metal or metalloid. (Section 22.9)

Any substituent on a benzene ring that causes the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution to be lower than that for benzene.

A unit of measure fordipole moments, where 1 debye = 10-18 esu×cm.

A technique for separating amino acids from each other based on a difference in pI values.

In an energy diagram, the height of the energy barrier (the hump) between the reactants and the products.

A compound containing a hydroxyl group (OH) connected directly to a carbon-carbon double bond.

The lowest-energy electron confi guration for an atom or molecule.

Cleavage of a bond so that one fragment retains both electrons and the other retains none.

A system for naming organic compounds.

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

The determination of the presence or absence of a particular substance in a mixture. (Section 17.7)

An intermediate that has both a negative charge and an unpaired electron.

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

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

A special type of stereoselective reaction in which the stereochemistry of the product is dependent on the stereochemistry of the starting material.
