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

A form of magnetism in which unpaired electron spins on adjacent sites point in opposite directions and cancel each other’s effects. (Section 23.1)

A proton acceptor

The lowest energy conformation for cyclohexane, in which all bond angles are fairly close to 109.5° and all hydrogen atoms are staggered.

Processes in which one or more substances are converted into other substances; also called chemical reactions. (Section 1.3)

A notation that uses chemical symbols with numerical subscripts to convey the relative proportions of atoms of the different elements in a substance. (Section 2.6)

A situation in which two multiple bonds are separated by a single bond. Alternatively, a series of overlapping 2p orbitals. 1,3-butadiene, for example, is a conjugated diene, and 3-butene-2-one is a conjugated enone

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

An atom or group of atoms within a molecule that shows a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties

A fi ve-membered cyclic form of a monosaccharide.

Members of group 7A in the periodic table. (Section 7.8)

A way to view furanose and pyranose forms of monosaccharides. The ring is drawn fl at and most commonly viewed through its edge with the anomeric carbon on the right and the oxygen atom of the ring to the rear

A molecule containing an !OH and an !OR or !OAr group bonded to the same carbon

The less substituted product (alkene) of an elimination reaction.

A carbohydrate for which the chirality center farthest from the carbonyl group will have an OH group pointing to the left in the Fischer projection.

The smallest increment (a quantum) of radiant energy; a photon of light with frequency n has an energy equal to hn. (Section 6.2)

Refers to two hydrogens bonded to a carbon atom. When a different atom replaces one or the other, the carbon becomes a chiral center. The hydrogens of the CH2 group of ethanol, for example, are prochiral. Replacing one of them by deuterium gives (R)-1-deuteroethanol; replacing the other gives (S)-1-deuteroethanol

A covalent bond involving one electron pair. (Section 8.3)

A unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Polymers that are formed under conditions in which the individual monomers react with each other to form oligomers, which are then joined together to form polymers.

A solution prepared by dissolving Ag2O in aqueous ammonia; used for selective oxidation of an aldehyde to a carboxylic acid.
