A hydrocarbon that lacks p bonds.

The conjugate base of an alcohol.

An SR group.

At constant pressure and temperature, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas present. (5.3)

A type of polypeptide secondary structure in which sections of polypeptide chains are aligned parallel or antiparallel to one another.

A conformation of cyclohexane in which all bond angles are fairly close to 109.5° and many hydrogen atoms are eclipsing each other.

The most common drawing style employed by organic chemists. All carbon atoms and most hydrogen atoms are implied but not explicitly drawn in a bond-line structure.

Polymers that return to their original shape after being stretched.

A compound in which two hydrocarbon groups are bonded to one oxygen. (Section 24.4)

In radical reactions, a type of arrow-pushing pattern in which a hydrogen atom is abstracted by a radical, generating a new radical.

A law that states that the elemental composition of a pure compound is always the same, regardless of its source; also called the law of definite proportions. (Section 1.2)

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

Liquids that mix in all proportions. (Section 13.3)

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

A polymer of amino acids that has a molecular weight of less than 10,000. (Section 24.7)

A reaction in which certain atoms undergo changes in oxidation states. The substance increasing in oxidation state is oxidized; the substance decreasing in oxidation state is reduced. (Section 4.4; Chapter 20: Introduction)

The manner in which a protein is coiled or stretched. (Section 24.7)

Common name for silicon dioxide. (Section 22.4)

A list of ligands arranged in order of their abilities to split the d-orbital energies (using the terminology of the crystal-field model). (Section 23.6)
