REACTION MECHANISM Flashcards
Describes what happens in a chemical reaction
Reaction Equation
Is a detailed step by step description of how a chemical reaction occurs
Reaction Mechanism
It shows a sequence of bond making and bond breaking steps which involves the movement of electrons
Reaction Mechanism
electrons are the ones involved in the creation of bonds
Reaction Mechanism
You show the steps by drawing the movement of electrons
Reaction Mechanism
It provides a rationalization for chemical reaction and chemical reactions and it allows one to predict the likely outcome of a reaction
Reaction Mechanism
Shows you the steps of a reaction and also it allows you to predict the type of reaction that can happen and also you can also predict whether a reaction with occur or not
Reaction Mechanism
Asymmetrical cleavage of a bond
Heterolytic cleavage
Symmetrical cleavage of a bond
Homolytic cleavage
High energy species carrying an unpaired electrons
Radical
Involves Homolytic cleavage and radical
What kind of reaction?
Radical reaction
Involves Heterolytic cleavage
Ehat kind of reaction?
Ionic reaction
are electron rich nucleus seeking reagents
nucleophiles
Typically have a negative charge so an ionic sila, they have a lone pairs or multiple bonds
nucleophiles
Kung ano yung may negative charge, may lone pair or multiple bonds sa reactant
nucleophiles
