Solutions for Chapter 14.15SE: Chemistry: The Central Science 13th Edition

A pericyclic reaction, also called a Diels-Alder reaction, that takes place between two different p systems, one of which is associated with four atoms while the other is associated with two atoms.

A compound that possesses a carbon-carbon double bond.

Compounds containing a nitrogen atom that is connected to one, two, or three alkyl or aryl groups.

A solid that lacks a regular three-dimensional arrangement of atoms or molecules. (11.7)

A measure of the polarity of a covalent bond. The product of the charge on either atom of a polar bond times the distance between the atoms

A tetrahedral atom, most commonly carbon, that is bonded to four different groups; also called a chirality center

Representations of a molecule or ion that differ only in the distribution of valence electrons.

A chemical reaction in which a single compound reacts to give two or more products. (Section 3.2)

A pericyclic process in which a conjugated polyene undergoes cyclization. In the process, one p bond is converted into a s bond, while the remaining p bonds all change their location. The newly formed s bond joins the ends of the original p system,thereby creating a ring.

A biological membrane that consists of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins, carbohydrates, and other lipids on the surface and embedded in the bilayer

The practice in which water laden with sand and other materials is pumped at high pressure into rock formations to release natural gas and other petroleum materials. (Section 18.4)

A substance with one or more unpaired electrons. (Section 21.9)

A reaction in which a nucleophile attacks a carboxylic acid derivative.

A naturally occurring combustible liquid composed of hundreds of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. (Section 5.8)

A molecular orbital formed by overlapping parallel 2p orbitals on adjacent atoms; its electron density lies above and below the line connecting the atoms

A term describing a consideration that must be taken into account for a reaction in which two or more constitutional isomers can be formed.

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

A process that can go back and forth between states along exactly the same path; a system at equilibrium is reversible if equilibrium can be shifted by an infinitesimal modification of a variable such as temperature. (Section 19.1)

A substitution reaction in which the solvent functions as the nucleophile.

a !CH"CH2 group
