What is an electrophile? correct answer: compound or ion that are poor in electron density- LOVES AVAILABLE ELECTRONS Same as Lewis Acid What is a nucleophile? correct answer: is an ion or a compound that is capable of donating a pair of electrons-- THEY WOULD LOVE TO ATTACK A NUCLEUS These are the exact same a Lewis Base THESE SHARE ELECTRON DENSITY Examples of Nucleophiles correct answer: I-, Cl-, Br-, HS-, RO-, HO-,NH2- Nucleophilic Attack correct answer: shows the nuc...

Identify the sources of acetaminophen exposure in cats and dogs. correct answers 1. Acetaminophen is present in more than 200 prescription and OTC formulations. 2. Most toxicoses result from well-meaning but ill-informed administration by owners. 3. Accidental ingestion of owner's medications. Why is acetaminophen not commonly used in cats and dogs? correct answers Low therapeutic index What is the level of plasma protein binding of acetaminophen? correct answers 1. Poor protein bin...

regioisomers - Answer structural isomers formed in some reaction, same formula but different connectivities nucleophile - Answer e- sources drawn to positive centers, more negative [bases are all nucleophiles] in SN2, nucleophile attacks C sp3 only if C is having e- pulled away from it (partial positive charge) electrophile - Answer C sp3 with leaving group leaving group (LG) - Answer atoms/groups that pull away e-s good leaving groups: halogens and A+ bimolecular nucleophilic...

what factors explain the outcomes of reactions? - hybridization, delocalization, eN, atom density what is a leaving group? - - group of atom(s) that can be stable on its own - eN atoms that are good LG also make strong acids what is the α carbon? - C directly attached to leaving group what are β Cs? β Hs? - βC: C(s) attached to α carbon βH: H(s) attached to βC what is a LB? is it a nucleophile or electrophile? - lewis base, nucleophile what is nucleophilic ...

Addition - ANSWERA reaction involving an increase in the number of groups attached to the alkene and a decrease in the number Regiochemistry - ANSWERThe orientation of a chemical reaction on an unsymmetrical substrate. In additions to alkenes, the regiochemistry of the addition involves which part of the reagent adds to which end of an unsymmetrical alkene. Regioselective reaction - ANSWERA reaction in which one direction of bond making or bond breaking occurs preferentially over all other...
