A specific group of atoms/bonds that show a predictable chemical behavior.
What are functional groups?
100
Proton Donor
What is a bronsted lowry acid?
100
Drawings that helps visualize the various conformation of a compound.
What are Newmann projections?
100
Contains multiple chiral centers but is achiral.
What is a meso compound?
200
same molecular formula different connectivity
What are constitutional isomers?
200
A representation in which carbon atoms and most hydrogen atoms are not drawn.
What are bond line drawings?
200
Electron acceptor
What is a Lewis Acid?
200
Occurs when bonds are less than preferred 109.5 degrees.
What is angle strain?
200
A system used to assign the configuration (R/S) of a chirality center.
What is Cahn Ingold Prelog system?
300
The formal charge for an oxygen with three bonds.
What is positive (plus) one?
300
Electrons participating in resonance and occupy a p orbital are said to be this.
What are delocalized?
300
The constant used in organic chemistry to describe the position of the equilibrium. Strong acids are low values.
What is pKa?
300
Daily Double. You may bid by factors (i.e. 2 x 300 or 4 x 300)
Draw the structure of 1-ethyl-2,3,4-trimethylcyclobutane.
300
Non-superimposable mirror image.
What is an enantiomer?
400
Daily Double. You may bid by factors (i.e. 2 x 400 or 4 x 400)
Provide on the board three constitutional isomers for propane.
400
Tools for drawing resonance structures. Often not in a straight line.
What are curved arrows?
400
Electron Donor
What is a Lewis Base?
400
This conformation of cyclohexane has not torsional strain and very little angle strain.
What is the chair conformation?
400
Drawings that convey the configurations of chirality centers, without the use of wedges and dashes.
What is a Fischer projection?
500
dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonding, and London forces.
What are intermolecular forces?
500
1. Minimize charge
2. Electronegative atoms can bear positive charge but only if they possess an octet of electrons.
3. Avoid drawing a resonance structure in which two carbon atoms bear opposite charges.
What are (the rules) resonance structures?
500
Proton Acceptor
What is a Bronsted Base?
500
The preferred position of a methyl group in cyclohexane.
What is equatorial?
500
Compounds with multiple chirality centers by which are not mirror images of one another.
