Question
Answer
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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
