They define structure and reactivity of a compound

What role does a nucleophile play in organic reactions? Attacks positively charged or electron-deficient sites Donates electrons to form double bonds Acts as an acid in chemical reactions Forms isomers with different structures

Attacks positively charged or electron-deficient sites

What is hybridization in the context of atomic orbitals? The process of combining atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals The process of separating atomic orbitals into individual electrons The combination of electrons to form molecules The mixing of electrons between different atoms

Are the leaving groups of alcohols and ethers similar in terms of their activation requirements? Yes, they both must be activated before reacting. Yes, but ethers do not require activation. No, they are activated by different mechanisms. No, only alcohols need activation.

Yes, they both must be activated before reacting.

How can an ether be activated, and how does this compare to the activation of an alcohol? Ethers require no activation, unlike alcohols. Ethers and alcohols are both activated by protonation. Ethers can only be activated by protonation, unlike alcohols which can be activated by other reagents. Ethers are activated by SOCl2, while alcohols are not.

Ethers can only be activated by protonation, unlike alcohols which can be activated by other reagents.

Can an ether be activated by reagents such as SOCl2, PCl3, or TosCl? No, ethers require a different set of reagents. Yes, but only in the presence of a catalyst. Yes, these reagents are effective for ether activation. No, because ethers do not have a proton that must be lost to form a stable product.

No, because ethers do not have a proton that must be lost to form a stable product.

Do ethers have good leaving groups? No, but they can be improved with catalysts. No, they have very poor leaving groups. Yes, but only under acidic conditions. Yes, they have excellent leaving groups.

No, they have very poor leaving groups.

What can be used to activate an ether, and what cannot? Alkyl halides like HBr and HI can be used, but HCl cannot because it is too poor of a nucleophile. None of the alkyl halides can activate ethers. All alkyl halides can activate ethers. Only HCl can be used, while HBr and HI cannot.

Alkyl halides like HBr and HI can be used, but HCl cannot because it is too poor of a nucleophile.

What occurs to an ether during its activation via an alkyl halide? It is cleaved in half, undergoing ether cleavage. It remains unchanged. It forms a stable complex. It forms a new ether linkage.

It is cleaved in half, undergoing ether cleavage.

How do you determine if an ether's activation and cleavage will proceed via an SN1 or SN2 mechanism? It is always SN2 regardless of conditions. It is always SN1 regardless of conditions. If it forms a relatively stable carbocation when ROH leaves, it will be SN1; otherwise, it will be SN2. The mechanism is determined by the solvent used.

If it forms a relatively stable carbocation when ROH leaves, it will be SN1; otherwise, it will be SN2.

What is the mechanism for ether activation of \[ C(CH_3)_3OCH_3 \] with HI? E1 mechanism with elimination. SN1 mechanism involving acid protonation, carbocation formation, and halide ion combination. E2 mechanism with elimination. SN2 mechanism with direct nucleophilic attack.

SN1 mechanism involving acid protonation, carbocation formation, and halide ion combination.

What is the mechanism for ether activation of \[ CH_3-O-CHCH_2CH_3 \] with HI? E1 mechanism with elimination. SN1 mechanism with carbocation formation. E2 mechanism with elimination. SN2 mechanism with acid protonation and nucleophilic attack on the less sterically hindered carbon.

SN2 mechanism with acid protonation and nucleophilic attack on the less sterically hindered carbon.

Which of the following lists contains 8 functional groups commonly studied in organic chemistry? Sugars, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes, Hormones Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, Ethers, Carboxylic Acids, Amines, Amides, Esters Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids, Noble Gases, Lanthanides, Actinides, Transition Metals, Post-transition Metals Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Aromatics, Halides, Nitriles, Thiols, Sulfides

Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, Ethers, Carboxylic Acids, Amines, Amides, Esters

What are the rules for naming alcohols in organic chemistry? Parent name is altered, 'e' becomes 'ol'; lowest possible address is given to the attached -OH; carbon number is placed in front of parent name Parent name is altered, 'e' becomes 'al'; lowest possible address is given to the attached -CHO; carbon number is placed in front of parent name Parent name is altered, 'e' becomes 'one'; lowest possible address is given to the attached -C=O; carbon number is placed in front of parent name Parent name is altered, 'e' becomes 'oate'; lowest possible address is given to the attached -COO; carbon number is placed in front of parent name

Parent name is altered, 'e' becomes 'ol'; lowest possible address is given to the attached -OH; carbon number is placed in front of parent name
