Chemistry Flashcards
(48 cards)
Cathode
Negative
- Reduction (M^+ + e -> M)
Anode
Positive
- Oxidation (X- -> X + e)
Unsaturated molecule
Contains one or more double or tiple bonds
Anticlockwise
S
Clockwise
R
Enantiomers
Non-superimposable mirror images
- Assign molecule R/S
- > if same = identical molecule
- > if opposite = enantiomer
Chiral centre
Carbon that has four diff groups
Determining no of stereoisomers
2^n (where n = no of chiral centres)
Stereoisomers
Isomers that differ in 3D arrangement of atoms
Intermolecular forces
Strongest:
- H bonding
- Dipole-dipole
- Dispersion forces - increase with increased molecular mass (as more e)
1 and 2 - the bigger the diff in electroneg -> the stronger the bonding
Log10 (1)
0
Log10 (10)
1
Log10 (100)
2
Mole ratio
what you want/what you have
Half life
start time at second no (first half like)
High Ka
= low pka
= strong acid
(and therefore weak base = low kb -> high pkb)
Hydrogen Bonding
H bonded to either a CNOF
H-bond donor
- Any H bonded to an O or N
H-bond acceptor
no of O and N (even if bonded to a H)
Oxidation No
Electrons are allocated to more electroneg atom
Formal charge
Electrons are equally allocated
Oxidation of Carbon
Increase in the no of bonds to O or decrease in no of bonds to H
Alkene
C C double bond
Alkye
C C triple bond
