Solutions for Chapter 16.14SE: Chemistry: The Central Science 13th Edition

A substance capable of accepting a proton. (4.3)

A step in a chain reaction characterized by the reaction of a reactive intermediate and a molecule to give a new reactive intermediate and a new molecule.

A cumulated diene is one in which two double bonds share an sp-hybridized carbon

An effect that causes different regions of space to be characterized by different magnetic field strengths.

The attraction between the positive end of one dipole and the negative end of another.

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.

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)

Energetic electromagnetic radiation emanating from the nucleus of a radioactive atom. (Section 21.1)

A law stating that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight. (Section 10.8)

The mass of one mole of a substance in grams; it is numerically equal to the formula weight in atomic mass units. (Section 3.4)

A ligand that binds to the metal ion via a single donor atom. It occupies one position in the coordination sphere. (Section 23.3)

A conversion of one kind of nucleus to another. (Section 21.3)

A reaction in which a nucleophile, most commonly a halogen, on an aromatic ring is replaced by another nucleophile.

A form of isomerism in which the two forms of a compound (stereoisomers) are nonsuperimposable mirror images. (Section 23.4)

The extent to which atomic orbitals on different atoms share the same region of space. When the overlap between two orbitals is large, a strong bond may be formed. (Section 9.4)

For light, the orientation of the electric field.

An equation thatdescribes the relationship between the rate of a reactionand the concentration of reactants.

A theory that many molecules and ions are best described as a hybrid of several Lewis structures

An amine in which nitrogen is bonded to two carbons and one hydrogen

The ordered arrangement of nucleic acid strands
