Frage Antworten
Delocalised Electrons Electrons shared between more than two electrons
Addition Reaction A reaction in which a reactant is addedd to an unsaturated molecule to make a saturated molecule
Substitution A reaction in which an atom or group of atoms is replaced with a different atom or group of atoms
Electrophile An atom or group of atoms that is attracted to an electron-rich centre, where it accepts a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond
Substitution Reaction A reaction in which an atom or group of atoms is replaced with a different atom or group of atoms
Electrophilic substitution A type of substitution reaction in which an electrophile is attracted to an electron-rich centre or atom, where it accepts a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond
Reaction mechanism A series of steps that, together, make up the overall reaction
Curly Arrow A symbol used in reaction mechanisms to show the movement of an electron pair in the breaking or formation of covalent bonds
Functional Group The part of an organic molecule responsible for its chemical reactions
Electronegativity A measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Stem The longest carbon chain present in an organic molecule
Suffix The part of the name added after the stem
Redox Reaction One in which both oxidation and reduction take place
Reflux The continual boiling and condensing of a reaction mixture to ensure that the reaction takes place without the contents of the flask boiling dry
Nucleophile An atom or group of atoms attracted to and electron-deficient centre, where it donates a pair of electrons to form a new covalent bond
Esterification The reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid to produce an ester and water
Hydrolysis A reaction with water or hydroxide ions that breaks a chemical compound into two compounds
Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) Responsible for carrying cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver to the tissues
High-density Lipoprotein (HDL) Removes cholesterol from the arteries and transport it back to the liver for excretion or re-utilisation
Peptide A compound made of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
Zwitterion A dipolar ionic form of an amino acid that is formed by the donation of a hydrogen ion from the carboxyl group to the amino group. Because both charges are present, there is no overall charge.
Isoelectric Point The pH value at which the amino acid exists as a zwitterion.
Peptide A compound containing amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The number of amino acids is often idicated by the prefix di-, tri-, or tetra-
Condensation Reaction One in which two small molecules react together to form a larger molecule with the elimination of a small molecule such as water.
Hydrolysis Involves the breaking of a bond by reaction with water. Hydrolysis can be catalysed by acid of alkali
Stereoisomers Species with the same structural formula but with a different arrangement of the atoms in space.
Chiral Carbon A carbon atom attached to four different atoms or group of atoms
Optical Isomers (or enantiomers) Stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other
Repeat Unit The specific arrangement of atoms that occurs in the structure over and over again. Repeat units are included in brackets, outside which is the letter n.
Biodegradable Polymer A polymer that breaks down completely into carbon dioxide and water.
Degradable Polymer A polymer that breaks down into smaller fragments when exposed to light, heat or moisture.
Pharmacological Activity The beneficial or adverse effects of a drug on living matter
Phase A physically distinctive form of a substance, such as the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of ordinary matter.
Mobile Phase The phase that moves in chromatography
Stationary Phase The phase that does not move in chromatography
Chromatogram A visible record of separation of the components of a mixture by chromatography
Rf Distance moved by component
Retention Time In gas chromatography is the time for a component to pass from the column inlet to the detector
Chemical Shift A scale that compares the frquency of an NMR absorption with the frequency of the reference peak of TMS at oppm
