Q

Geometrical isomerism

A

Also known as cis-trans
Occurs with alkenes that don’t have two identical groups on either side of the double bond
Groups on same side are cis (z)
Groups on opposite sides are trans (e)

Q

Homolytic fission

A

Both the atoms at each end of the bond leave with one electron from the pair that formed the covalent bond
Produces free radicals

Q

Free radical

A

Atom or group of atoms that has an unpaired electron
Highly reactive
Formed in initiation step of free radical substitution reactions

17
Q

Electrophile

A

Atom or group of atoms that reacts with electron rich areas such as C=C bonds
Delta positive/positive charge
Acceptor of electrons
