What is a sigma bond?
a type of bond formed when two orbitals overlap directly between the bonded atoms (the nuclei)
1 of 11
What is a pi bond?
when two p-orbitals overlap sideways electron density is shared above and below the nuclei
2 of 11
What is an electrophile?
an electron pair acceptor - attracted to areas of high electron density
3 of 11
What is a nucleophile?
an electron pair doner - donate a lone pair of electrons to electrophile to produce a covalent bond

1. Homolytic Fission 2. Heterolytic Fission

What is a radical?
particles that have an unpaired electron
6 of 11
What do curly arrows show?
The movement of electrons
7 of 11
What is a stereoisomer?
a molecule that has the same structural formula as a different molecule but its atoms are arranged differently in space
8 of 11
What is a structural isomer?
a molecule with the same molecular formula as another molecule but with the atoms connected in a different way

What is nomenclature?
the naming of molecules using rules
10 of 11
