For a substituted aromatic ring, the effect of an electron-donating substituent that increases the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution.

A substance that has the characteristic properties of a metal and contains more than one element. Often there is one principal metallic component, with other elements present in smaller amounts. Alloys may be homogeneous or heterogeneous. (Section 12.3)

In IR spectroscopy, when two bonds are stretching out of phase with each other.

The distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. (Section 8.3)

Any three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule that results from rotation about a single bond.

In an acid-base reaction, the product that results when an acid is deprotonated.

A reaction involving loss of CO2, characteristic of compounds containing a carbonyl group that is beta to a COOH group.

An ionic compound that is formed upon treatment of a primary amine with NaNO2 and HCl.

In NMR spectroscopy, a signal that is comprised of two peaks.

The escape of a gas through an orifice or hole. (Section 10.8)

A form of isomerism in which compounds with the same type and number of atoms and the same chemical bonds have different spatial arrangements of these atoms and bonds. (Sections 23.4 and 24.4)

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

From the Greek, meaning water-loving.

A !CH2! group.

A compound that contains a carbon-metal bond.
