21
Q

Nitroarenes

A

An arene (e.g. benzene) which has had one of its hydrogens replaced by an NO2 (e.g. nitrobenzene)

22
Q

α-amino acid

A

A compound with the general formula RCH(NH2)COOH

23
Q

Optical isomers

A

Stereoisomers which form non superimposable mirror images due to the oresence of chiral centre(s)

24
Q

Chiral centre

A

A carbon which has 4 different groups attached to it

25
Q

Polyester

A

A polymer (a chain of repeating units) where the individual units are held together by ester linkages -COO-

26
Q

Polyamide

A

A polymer (a chain of repeating units) where the individual units are geld togetger by amide linkages -CONH-

27
Q

Addition polymerisation

A

Small unsaturated monomers (monomers with carbon to carbon double bonds) join up by the opening of the doubel bond to allow them to join up to form a long carbon chain

28
Q

Condensation polymerisation

A

Polymers formed through a condensation reaction. Molecules join together, losing small molecules as by-products such as water or methanol

Monomer

A

Molecules that react together to form polymers

30
Q

Nitriles

A

Molecules which contain the -CΞN group

31
Q

Nucleophilic substitution

A

The replacement of an electronegative atom/group with a nucleophile

32
Q

Nucleophilic addition

A

An addition reaction where a chemical compound with an electron deficient or electrophilic π bond, reacts with a nucleophile, to create 2 new single bonds

33
Q

Recrystallisation

A

A method used to purify an organic solid. The organic compound is dissolved in the minimum volume of warm solvent and the sample recrystallises as it cools. The impurities must be more soluble in the solvent than the required product
