Solutions for Chapter 1.7SE: Chemistry: The Central Science 13th Edition

An equilibrium constant that expresses the extent to which an acid transfers a proton to solvent water. (Section 16.6)

Hormones that are secreted by the cortex (the outer layer) of the adrenal glands. Adrenocortical hormones are typically characterized by a carbonyl group or hydroxyl group at C11 of the steroid skeleton.

A reaction in which two alkenes interchange the carbons attached to their double bonds.

The conjugate base of a terminal alkyne.

A crystal lattice in which the lattice points are located at the center and corners of each unit cell. (Section 12.2)

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

A polymer that is formed under conditions in which the monomers do not react directly with each other, but rather, each monomer is added to the growing chain, one at a time.

The most stable nonplanar conformation of a cyclohexane ring; all bond angles are approximately 109.5°, and all bonds on adjacent carbons are staggered.

Compounds composed entirely of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon. (Section 18.3)

A cumulated diene is one in which two double bonds share an sp-hybridized carbon

An eliminationreaction in which the leaving group only leavesafter deprotonation occurs. This process occurs atthe end of an aldol condensation.

A bond to a chair conformation of cyclohexane that extends from the ring roughly perpendicular to the imaginary axis through the center of the ring; a bond that lies roughly along the equator of a cyclohexane ring

When considering electrons in atomic orbitals, a rule that states that one electron is placed in each degenerate orbital first, before electrons are paired up.

An analytical technique for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ions.

A biopolymer containing three types of monomer units: heterocyclic aromatic amine bases derived from purine and pyrimidine, the monosaccharides d-ribose or 2-deoxy-d-ribose, and phosphoric acid

The process that occurs in plant leaves by which light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates and oxygen. (Section 23.3)

An ionic compound containing a positively charged nitrogen atom connected to four alkyl groups.

A conformation about a carbon-carbon single bond in which the atoms or groups on one carbon are as far apart as possible from atoms or groups on an adjacent carbon.

A compound that is similar in structure to an ether, but the oxygen atom has been replaced with a sulfur atom. Also called a thioether.

A common type of spin-spin coupling involving the H atoms on two C atoms that are bonded to each other.
