Q

Structural isomers

A

= two or more compounds that have the same molecular formula but a different structural formula.

17
Q

Saturated compound

A

Molecule with no double or triple bonds

18
Q

Free radical

A

an uncharged species that has an unpaired valence electron

19
Q

Electrophile

A

an electron-deficient species that can accept electron pairs from a nucleophile.

20
Q

Markovnikov’s rule

A

when hydrogen halides add to asymmetrical alkenes, the hydrogen atom always adds to the carbon atom that already has the most hydrogen atoms bonded to it.

Optical isomers
Exist as chiral compounds with asymmetric carbon atoms.
37
Racemic mixtures
contain equal amounts of each isomer
