Q

Coordinate covalent bonds

A

unlike covalent bonds, are formed between two atoms when both of the shared electrons are donated by the same atom. Such coordinate bonds are often formed between electron-poor metal ions and molecules called ligands that contain one or more electron-rich atoms with available lone-pair electrons.

Q

Coordination Number

A

number of coordinate bonds formed between the central metal ion and its nearest neighboring atoms. When all of these nearest neighboring atoms are from separate molecules or ions, the number of ligands will equal the coordination number. However, if two or more of these nearest neighboring atoms are joined to the same coordinating ligand unit, then the number ligands will not equal the coordination number.

Charles’s Law

A

*King Charles was Fat (Volume) and Sweaty (Temperature)* Describes direct proportional relationship between Volume and Temperature: ex. as V increases so does T V∝T and V/T is a constant

Q

Density in an isolated system

A

-if volume decreases and density increases the level of fluid in a system will be relatively unchanged -if density increases and there is something in the fluid –> object will now float because density has increased relative to what it was before

Diastereomer

A

Differ at the Stereocenter, similar to enantiomers except for the connections

Q

Stereoisomer

A
  • Have identical molecular formulas and arrangements of atoms
  • They differ from each other only in the spatial orientation of groups in the molecule
  • Simplest forms: cis and trans isomers created by restricted rotation about doulbe bond or ring system

Ex. C4H8

Physiologically active Lipid structure

Involved in inflammation: prevent needless clot formation and regulate the functioning of smooth muscles

24
Q

Ka Values for Amino Acids

A
  • amino acids with acidic side chains: isoelectric point is the 2 lowest Ka values
  • pKa = average of two lowest values
25
Q

Ka and pKa relationship

A
  • Ka: higher Ka = more acidic
  • pKa: higher pKa = less acidic because -log(Ka)
26
Q

Effect of Fluorine on acidity

A
  • Flourine: electron-withdrawing functional group that provides inductive stabilization of the conjugate base
  • Allows H+ to break off more easily
  • increased stabilization = increased acidity
27
Q

Suicide Inhibition

A

irreversible enzyme-inhibitor complex that is usually joined through a covalent bond

28
Q

Equivalence Point

A

V titrant = V titrated

-net charge of amino acid is 0 because carboxylate is deportonated but not the amine group; pH at equivalence point = pH of amino acid

29
Q

Rf

A

Rf = distance moved by solute/distance moved by solvent

  • if something has a high Rf value means it was able to move well/quickly
  • low Rf value means it stuck well to the solvent and did not get to move as well/quickly
