Organic Chemistry 2nd Edition - Solutions by Chapter

Compounds of carbon and hydrogen containing only carbon–carbon single bonds. (Sections 2.9 and 24.2)

A three-dimensional plot of y2 of a wavefunction. It is a region of space that can accommodate electron density.

An sp3 -hybridized carbon bonded to a benzene ring

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

Any property of a substance that cannot be studied without converting the substance into some other substance. (1.6)

An anion derived by loss of a hydrogen from a carbon alpha to a carbonyl group; the anion of an enol.

A cyclic ether containing a three-membered ring system. Also called an oxirane (also see Sect. 14.7).

A long, unbranched-chain carboxylic acid, most commonly of 12 to 20 carbons, derived from the hydrolysis of animal fats, vegetable oils, or the phospholipids of biological membranes.

CFCs that were heavily used for a wide variety of commercial applications, including as refrigerants, as propellants, in the production of foam insulation, as fire-fighting materials, and many other useful applications.

Any molecule or ion that can form a new covalent bond by donating a pair of electrons.

A spectrum that contains radiation at only certain specific wavelengths. (Section 6.3)

A biomolecule isolated from plant or animal sources by extraction with nonpolar organic solvents, such as diethyl ether and hexane.

Polymers made up of repeating monosaccharide units linked together by glycoside bonds.

A nonprotein unit attached to a protein, such as heme in hemoglobin.

From the Latin, rectus, straight, correct; used in the R,S convention to show that the order of priority of groups on a chiral center is clockwise.

A measure of the energy absorbed from radiation by tissue or other biological material; 1 rad = transfer of 1 * 10-2 J of energy per kilogram of material. (Section 21.9)

In NMR spectroscopy,protons or carbon atoms whose surrounding electron density is rich.

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

Polymers that are hard at room temperature but soft when heated.

A net neutral compound that exhibits charge separation. Amino acids exist as zwitterions at physiological pH.
