Definitions Flashcards
Functional Group
A group of atoms responsible for characteristic reactions of a compound
Acid
Proton Donor
dissociation of a strong acid
Full dissociation
Homologous series
A series of compounds having the same functional group but with each sucessive member differing by CH2
What is hetrolytic fission
When the bonding atom receives both electrons from the bonded pair
What are radicals
A radical is a species with an unpaired electron
Homolytic fission
When each bonding atom receives one electron from the bonded pair* forming two radicals*
Steroisomersim
Same structural formula but diffrent arrangement of space
E/Z happens as…
- double bond restricts movement
- diffrent side groups on each carbon of the double bond
Periodicity
Enthalpy Change of Formation
The enthalpy change to form 1 mol of a compound from elements in their standard states
Enthalpy Change of Combustion
The enthalpy change for the complete combustion of 1 mol of a substance
Average bond enthalpy
When 1 mol of a gaseous covalent bond is broken
Enthalpy Change of a Neutralisation
The enthalpy change of formation of 1 mol of H20 after neutralisation
EC of a reaction
Enthalpy Change Associated with a stated equation
