Ch 6: Ionic Rxns

QuestionAnswer
Substitution reactions and elimination reaction both deal with: Alkyl halides --> RX (F, Br, Cl, I)
What halogen is electronegative? Chlorine
Halogens don't like sharing ___. Electrons
Halogens want to do what with electrons? Steal them away and break themselves away.
Substitution reactions are similar to what kinds of reactions? Acid-base reactions
Nucleophile (def.) Likes positive particles
Sub. Rxn - What does "RX" represent? Substrate
Sub. Rxn - What does "Nu: ¯" represent? Nucleophile
Sub. Rxn - What does "X: ¯" Leaving Group
Substrate of Sn1 3º or 2º (requires formation of a relatively stable carbocation)
Substrate of Sn2 Methyl > 1º > 2º (requires unhindered substrate)
Nucleophile of Sn1 Weak Lewis base, neutral molecule, nucleophile may be the solvent (solvolysis)
Nucleopphile of Sn2 Strong Lewis base, rate favored by high concentration of nucleophile
Solvent in Sn1 Polar protic (e.g., alcohols, water)
Solvent in Sn2 Polar aprotic (e.g., DMF, DMSO)
Leaving group in both Sn1 and Sn2 I > Br > Cl > F (the weaker the base after the group departs, the better the leaving group
Carbocation (def.) Positively charged organic compound
Most stable substrate: 3º
Least stable substrate: Methyl
What are the only type of hydrocarbons involved in Sn1 and Sn2 reactions? Alkyl Halides
The strongest base will be the _______ leaving group. Worst
The weakest base will be the ________ leaving group. Best

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
