Chemistry 12th Edition - Solutions by Chapter

The equilibrium constant for the acid ionization. (15.5)

Two or more forms of the same element that differ significantly in chemical and physical properties. (2.6)

A molecular orbital in which the electron density is concentrated in the internuclear region. The energy of a bonding molecular orbital is lower than the energy of the separate atomic orbitals from which it forms. (Section 9.7)

A solution that undergoes a limited change in pH upon addition of a small amount of acid or base. (Section 17.2)

The most stable nonplanar conformation of a cyclohexane ring; all bond angles are approximately 109.5°, and all bonds on adjacent carbons are staggered.

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

A cyclic ether in which oxygen is one atom of a three-membered ring

A reaction that involves the addition of X2 (either Br2 or Cl2) across an alkene.

A compound containing a halogen atom and a hydroxyl group on adjacent carbons; those containing Br and OH are bromohydrins, and those containing Cl and OH are chlorohydrins.

Compounds that are similar in structure to CFCs but also possess at least one C!Hbond.

A hypothetical gas whose pressure, volume, and temperature behavior is completely described by the ideal-gas equation. (Section 10.4)

An ion or molecule that coordinates to a metal atom or to a metal ion to form a complex. (Section 23.2)

An assembly of a metal ion and the Lewis bases bonded to it. (Section 23.2)

A constant characteristic of a particular solvent that gives the decrease in freezing point as a function of solution molality: ?Tf = -Kf m. (Section 13.5)

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 reaction that involves the participation of ions as reactants, intermediates, or products.

A measure of the decrease in concentration of a reactant or the increase in concentration of a product with time. (Section 14.2)

The base-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester. This method is used to make soap.

A polymer with alternating R and S confi gurations at the chiral centers along its chain, as, for example, syndiotactic polypropylene

A common type of spin-spin coupling involving the H atoms on two C atoms that are bonded to each other.
