These have the same molecular formula but differ in their connectivity of atoms.
What are Constitutional Isomers?
100
These reactions involve the transfer of energy from the surroundings to the system.
What is endothermic?
100
Is the position on the carbon atom that is directly connected to the halogen or leaving group.
What is alpha carbon?
100
A process in SN2 in which the stereochemistry is automatically reversed. It also the title for one of the best-known non-fiction books ever written by Henry David Thoreau.
What is Walden inversion?

Is the type of attack that occurs in SN2. If not in the front then....
What is back side attack?
200
________ objects are not superimposable on their mirror images.
What is/are chiral?
200
Is also known as the equilibrium constant.
What is Keq?
200
Is also known as the substrate or the lewis acid in the reaction.
What is electrophile?

Daily Double.
Show the SN2 mechanism of 1-butanol going to form 1-bromobutane.
200
Is the preferred solvent for SN2 to occur. Can be described as a bear from the north pole who hates hydrogen.
What is polar aprotic?

What is the R or S configuration of lactic acid as shown?
300
Is the difference between the reactant/intermediate and the transition state on a reaction coordinate diagram?
What is Activation Energy?
300
Explains the two in SN2. It means two molecules are involved in the kinetics of the reaction.
What is bimolecular?
300
A reaction in chemistry in which all bond breaking and bond making occurs in a single step. Also occurs when everyone sings together in key.
What is concerted?
300
Loosely defined as the disorder of the system.
What is entropy?
400
This is a compound that is known as a non-superimposable non-mirror image.
What is a diastereomer?
400
Daily Triple (each fold is x 3) up to 4 fold.
Show the four characteristic arrow pushing patters on the board.
400
Is the N in SN2. Also known as a Lewis Base.
What is nucleophile/phillic?
400
_________ carbon atom is attached to 1 other carbon atom.
What is a primary carbon?
400
Are drawings that convey the configurations of chirality centers without the use of wedges and dashes. Simplifies the 3-D nature of biomolecules.
What are Fischer Projections?
500
occurs when a solution containing equal amounts of both enantiomers is generated.
What is racemic?
500
a transition state will resemble the reactants for an exergonic process but will resemble the products for an endergonic process.
What is the Hammond Postulate?
500
This type of reaction results when on material exchanges one functional group for another.
What is substitution?
500
A state known to occur in SN2 because the reaction coordinate diagram contains only one peak.
What is a transition state?
