What is a lewis acid and lewis base
Lewis base donates electrons
Leeis acid accepts electrons
Resonance
Movement of pi and non-bonded electrons
Pi electrons
More mobile. Located in p-orbitals. They are reactive
Sigma electrons
No movement, not reactive. Has s character.
Radicals
Not charged heptet. Electron deficient. Very reactive.
Regioselective reaction
Multiple areas that have the option to react
Thermodynamic conditions
Gives the best, most stable, product but at a slower rate than kenetic
Kinetic
Goves the fastest, easiest product.
Polar protic
Slightly + or slightly - and an acidic hudrogen. Causes elimination
Vinilyic and alylic
Vinilyic is the carbon directly attached to double bond
Alylic is carbon one carbon away from vinilyic carbon
Free radical
Anything with unpaired electrons
