14. Naming by the E,Z System
Rule 1: Consider the atomic number of the
atoms bonded directly to a specific sp2
carbon.
15. Rule 2: If there is a tie, consider the atoms
attached to the tie.
16. Rule 3: Multiple bonds are treated as attachment
of multiple single bonds.
17. Rule 4: Rank the priorities by mass number in
isotopes.
18. An alkene is an electron-rich molecule
Nucleophile: an electron-rich atom or molecule
that shares electrons with electrophiles
Examples of Nucleophiles
A nucleophile
19. Nucleophiles are attracted to electron-deficient
atoms or molecules (electrophiles)
Examples of Electrophiles
27. Thermodynamic Parameters
Gibbs standard free energy change (∆G°
)
Enthalpy (∆H°
): the heat given off or absorbed
during a reaction
Entropy (∆S°
): a measure of freedom of motion
∆G°
= ∆H°
– T∆S°
If ∆S°
is small compared to ∆H°
, ∆G° ~
∆H°
30. Solvation: the interaction between a solvent
and a molecule (or ion) in solution
Solvation can affect ∆H°
and/or ∆S°
, which ultimately
affects ∆G°
31. Kinetics deals with the rate of chemical reactions
and the factors that affect those rates
The rate-limiting step controls the overall rate of the reaction
Rate of a reaction =
number of collisions
per unit time
fraction with
sufficient energy
fraction with
proper orientation
x x
32. The free energy between the transition state
and the reactants
33. ∆G‡
:
(free energy of transition state) – (free energy of reactants)
∆G‡
= ∆H‡
– T∆S‡
∆H‡
:
(enthalpy of transition state) – (enthalpy of reactants)
∆S‡
:
(entropy of transition state) – (entropy of reactants)
34. Rates and Rate Constants
First-order reaction
A B
rate = k[A]
Second-order
reaction
A + B C + D
rate = k[A][B]
35. The Arrhenius Equation
k = Ae
–Ea/RT
Ea = ∆H‡
+ RT
Rate Constants and the Equilibrium

36. Transition State versus Intermediate
Transition states have partially formed bonds
Intermediates have fully formed bonds

The rate-limiting step controls the overall rate of the
