Polymers that are formed via cationic addition, anionic addition, or free-radical addition.

The product formed when the C"O group of a monosaccharide is reduced to a CHOH group.

A liquid mixture of constant composition with a boiling point that is different from that of any of its components.

Polymers that can be broken down by enzymes produced by soil microorganisms.

Valence electrons involved in forming a covalent bond (i.e., shared electrons).

The heating of an ore to bring about its decomposition and the elimination of a volatile product. For example, a carbonate ore might be calcined to drive off CO2. (Section 23.2)

Isomers that differ by the confi guration of substituents on an atom. Refers to the arrangement of atoms about a stereocenter

The amount of fissionable material necessary to maintain a nuclear chain reaction. (Section 21.7)

A system to specify the confi guration of groups about a carbon-carbon double bond

A class of lipids which includes leukotrienes, prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and prostacyclins.

Two mirror-image molecules of a chiral substance. The enantiomers are nonsuperimposable. (Section 23.4)

The point in a titration at which the added solute reacts completely with the solute present in the solution. (Section 4.6)

A compound containing an !OOH group.

A compound containing two carbon-carbon p bonds that are separated by two or more s bonds.

A compound in which the carbonyl group 1C “O2 occurs at the interior of a carbon chain and is therefore flanked by carbon atoms. (Section 24.4)

The nucleophile in a Michael reaction.

A rule stating that no two electrons in an atom may have the same four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, and ms). As a reflection of this principle, there can be no more than two electrons in any one atomic orbital. (Section 6.7)

Possessing radioactivity, the spontaneous disintegration of an unstable atomic nucleus with accompanying emission of radiation. (Section 2.2; Chapter 21: Introduction)

In nomenclature, the groups connected to the parent chain.
