Organic reactions Flashcards
What are the types of organic reaction?
Addition
Elimination
Substitution
Rearrangement
What is homolytic scission?
Bond breaks one electron goes to each atom creating radicals
Homo=same so after broken both molecules get the same
What is heterolytic scission?
Bond breaks and both electrons go to one atom
Hetero- different one atom given 2 one given 0
What is a radical? and by what scission is it formed?
atom with an unpaired electron extremely reactive
homolytic scission
What is homogenic bond formation?
Each molecule donates one electron to forming the bond
What is heterogenic bond formation?
Both electrons come from one molecule to form the bond
What is an anion?
Negative charge
What is a cation?
Positive charge
What is a nucleophile?
electron rich. Wants positive
What is am electrophile?
electron poor. Wants negative
