Formaldehyde
Term
What is a polar bond
Definition
is a type of covalent bond two atoms or more in which electrons are shared unequally
Term
negative inductive effect
Definition
An atom like fluorine which can pull the bonding pair away from the atom it is attached to
Term

Definition
a compound of one of these - e.g. hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, etc.
Term
electrophilic addition reactions
Definition
An addition reaction is a reaction in which two molecules join together to make a bigger one
Term

H2SO4
Term
Sn2 happens best when
Definition
It is a primary alkyl halide

Definition
What is a ketone
Term
markownikoff’s rule
Definition
The rule states that with the addition of a protic acid HX to an alkene, the acid hydrogen (H) becomes attached to the carbon with fewer alkyl substituents, and the halide (X) group becomes attached to the carbon with more alkyl substituents
Term
Zaitsev's rule
Definition
In elimi nation reactions, the most substituted alkene
usually predominates.
Term

Protic Solvent
Definition
protic solvent  is one that has acidic protons, usually in the form
of  0- H  or  N -H  groups
Term
Aprotic Solvent
Definition
aprotic  solvents  (solvents without 0- H  or
N - H  groups) enhance the nucleophilicity of anions. An anion is more reactive in an
aprotic solvent because it is not so strongly solvated
Term
Polar  aprotic  solvents 
Definition
have  strong  dipole moments  to  enhance  solubility
Term
Sn1 Reaction
Definition
The  SN 1  reaction goes much more readily  in polar solvents  that stabilize ions
Term
hydride shift
Definition
Carbocations  often  rearrange  to  form  more  stable  carbocations.  This  may  occur
when  a hydrogen  atom  moves with  its bonding pair  of  electron s.  Formally,  this is the
movement of a  hydride ion  (H:-),  although no actual  free hydride ion  is involved.
