Solutions for Chapter 2.7SE: Chemistry: The Central Science 13th Edition

Which of the two possible isomers an enantiomer is (i.e., whether it is the right- or left-handed isomer).

A basic nitrogen-containing compound of plant origin, many of which are physiologically active when administered to humans.

A solution that undergoes a limited change in pH upon addition of a small amount of acid or base. (Section 17.2)

A substance that forms complex ions with metal ions in solution. (23.3)

A drawing style in which none of the bonds are drawn. Groups of atoms are clustered together when possible. For example, isopropanol has two CH3 groups, both of which are connected to the central carbon atom, shown like this: (CH3)2CHOH.

A compound containing two carbon-carbon p bonds.

For alkenes, a stereodescriptorthat indicates that the two priority groups are on opposite sides of the p bond.

See voltaic cell. (Section 20.3)

A compound with hydroxyl (!OH) groups on adjacent carbons.

A carbanion with the structure RMgX.

An !OH group

Matter that has a distinct volume but no specific shape. (Section 1.2)

The ratio of the number of moles of one component of a mixture to the total moles of all components; abbreviated X, with a subscript to identify the component. (Section 10.6)

A naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbon compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon. (Section 5.8)

A building block of nucleic acids, consisting of d-ribose or 2-deoxy-d-ribose bonded to a heterocyclic aromatic amine base by a b-N-glycosidic bond

A method of electron book-keeping in which all bonds are treated as if they were purely ionic.

A polymer in which each monomer unit is joined to the next by an amide bond, as, for example, nylon 66.

The smallest increment of radiant energy that may be absorbed or emitted; the magnitude of radiant energy is hn. (Section 6.2)

An element from within the s and p blocks of the periodic table (Figure 6.29). (Section 6.9)

A triester formed from glycerol and three long-chain carboxylic acids.
