Exam 2

QuestionAnswer
Steric Hindrance a decrease in reactivity from the presence of bulky groups at the site of a reaction
Does steric hindrance decrease nucleophilicity AND basicity? No, basicity is not decreased by steric hindrance
polar protic solvents capable of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. They contain either O-H or N-H
Cations and anions can both be solvated by protic/aprotic solvents? Protic
Cations are solvated by... ion-dipole interactions
Anions are solvated by... hydrogen bonding
Nucleophilicity (increases/decreases) as you go down a column for polar protic solvents increases. this is opposite of basicity
Polar aprotic solvents exhibit dipole dipole interactions but can't hydrogen bond. solvate only cations
In polar aprotic solvents nucleophilicity (increases/decreases) as bascitiy increases increases
SN1 stands for substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (two step)
SN2 stands for substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (one step)
concerted reaction bond breaking adn bond making occur at the same time
frontside attacks (retain/change) configuration? retain
backside attacks (retain/change) configuration? change
frontside and backside attacks result in enantiomers/diasteriomers? enantiomers
all SN2 reactions are front/backside? backside attack

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.
