What are structural isomers?Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae
What are the 3 types of structural isomerism1. Position isomerism 2. Functional group isomerism 3. Chain isomerism
What are stereoisomersCompounds whose molecules have the same atoms bonded to each other, but with different arrangements of the atoms in space
What are the 2 types of stereoisomerism1. Geometrical (cis/trans) isomerism 2. Optical isomerism
What are enantiomers (Optical isomers )Mirror images of each other, and they cannot be superimposed
What are the 2 ways in which covalent bonds can break1. Homolytic fission 2. Heterolytic fission
What happen's in Homolytic fission?Both the atoms at each end of the bond leave with one electron from the pari that formed the covalent bond
What are free radicalsSpecies produced when a bond breaks homolytically
What are the 3 steps in free-radical reactions1. Initiation step: the formation of free radicals to start a reaction off 2. Propagation step: Steps in a mechanism that regenerates more free radicals 3. Termination step : the final step in a mechanism, when 2 free radicals meet and form a product molecule
The more alkyl groups adjacent to the positively charged carbon atom, the more..........The more stable the carbocation
Carbocation are an example of a species calledelectrophile
