dash
used for acyclic compounds
fischer projections
used exclusively for cyclic compounds
haworth projections
the approach that chemists use to deal with inadequacy of bond-line structure
resonance
drawing that show that the positive charge is spread over two locations
resonance structures
one entity
resonance hybrid
a stabilizing factor; spreading of electrons
delocalization
tools necessary to draw resonance structures properly
curved arrows
when the molecules and ions are stabilized by the delocalization of electrons
resonance stabilization
every curved arrow has a
tail and head
T/F all curved arrows in this
chapter are just tools and do not represent a flow of electrons
