Organic
The name of a six-membered, aromatic carbon ring
What is benzene?
A molecule with 4 atoms and one lone pair bonded, steric number of 5.
What is seesaw configuration?
The highest level containing electrons for a given compound.
What is the highest occupied molecular orbital?
A protein that speeds up the rate of reaction and is not consumed in the reaction.
What is an enzyme?
The number of atoms in a mole.
A proton is removed from a beta carbon and a leaving group is kicked off of the alpha carbon forming a double bond.
What is an E2 reaction?
A species that donates a proton in a reaction. Be specific in your naming!
What is a Brønsted-Lowry acid?
This principle states that the position and momentum of a particle cannot both be precisely determined at the same time, leading to inherent uncertainty in quantum systems.
What is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
The only naturally occurring amino acid with S configuration.
What is cysteine?
The scientist responsible for the discovery of polonium and radium, additionally championing the use of radiation in medicine.
Who was Marie Curie?
A piece of glassware that separates liquids by densities, typically having one organic and one aqueous layer
What is a separatory funnel?
This principle states that at constant temperature and pressure, the change in enthalpy is equal to the heat absorbed or released during a reaction.
What is Hess's Law?
This fundamental principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
What is the Pauli exclusion principle?
What are anaerobic conditions?
The food that the Thomson model compares an atom to.
What is plum pudding?
The CDCl3 peak in a proton NMR.
What is 7.26 ppm?
This equation calculates the cell potential under non-standard conditions based on concentration and temperature.
What is the Nernst equation?
This concept categorizes acids and bases by charge density and polarizability, predicting their reactivity patterns in chemical interactions.
What is the Hard and Soft Acids and Bases (HSAB) theory?
The starting material for the Krebs cycle.
What is acetyl-CoA?
The number of Penn chemistry Nobel laureates.
What is 7?
A reaction that produces amino acids by reacting an aldehyde or ketone with ammonia (or an amine) and hydrogen cyanide, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting aminonitrile.
What is Strecker synthesis?
An indicator that is yellow below pH of 6 and blue above pH 7.6.
What is bromothymol blue?
This tetragonal distortion lengthens bonds along the z-axis and shortens along x-y, and it happens most frequently for high spin d4, low spin d7, and d9 complexes.
What is the Jahn-Teller distortion/effect?
The amino acid most likely to cause a cis-peptide configuration.
What is proline?
These three Penn Chemistry professors are National Academy of Sciences members.
Who are Karen Goldberg, Marsha Lester, and Tom Mallouk?
