Chapter 3 Flashcards
Heteroatoms are:
atoms other than carbon or hydrogen
Pie bonds occur
when you have delocalization caused by double or triple bonds.
Function groups determine a molecule’s _______, ____ properties, and ______
geometry, physical reactivity
(pie/delta) bonds are easily broken in reactions
pi
Pie bonds cause ,molecules to have slight (acidity/basicity)
basicity
