Organic . Flashcards
A sigma bond (single bond) is the lowest energy, strongest, most stable type of bond COVALENT BONDS. [S Orbital]
A Pi Bond is a double bond between two atoms. [ One S orbital and One P orbital ]
KNOW THAT
Single Bonds are the longest and easiest to break; double bonds are shorter and harder to break; triple bonds are the shortest and most difficult to break .
Nucleophilic Functional Groups
have a partial NEGATIVE charge and seek POSITIVE charged Nuclei
Electrophilic Functional Groups
have a partial POSITIVE charge and seek electrons , normally get attacked.
Enantiomers
Mirror images , same molecular formula and connectivity, but differ in configuration.
Rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions to an equal degree.
Absolute Configuration (R, S)
the highest priority is given to the atom with the largest atomic weight . (outside of fluorine)
The direct and Number of degrees that the electric field is rotated when it passes through a compound
observed rotation
Diastereomers
have the same molecular formula, same bond to bond connectivity , but aren’t mirror images of each other and are not the same compound .
Anomers
cyclic diasterteomers that are formed when a ring closure occurs at an epimeric carbon ( differ at only one chiral carbon)
