COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
GRADED APLUS

●● stereoisomers
Answer: same molecular formula, same arrangement (connections) of
atoms, but different 3D geometry and different compounds


●● pericyclic
Answer: bonds are broken and formed simultaneously


●● radical
Answer: bonds are broken and formed by single e- movement


●● polar
Answer: bonds are broken and formed by e- pair movement


●● rearrangement
Answer: a single reactant undergoes reorganization of bonds and atoms
to form an isomeric product


●● elimination

, Answer: a single reactant splits into 2 products (often with the formation
of a small molecule like H2O or HBr)


●● addition
Answer: 2 reactants add together to form a single product with no atoms
leftover


●● substitution
Answer: 2 reactants exchange parts to give 2 new products


●● homolytic bond cleavage
Answer: symmetrical bond-breaking; movement of 1 e- to one atom and
another e- to a different atom (radical)


●● heterolytic bond cleavage
Answer: asymmetrical bond-breaking; e- pair movement to one atom
(polar)


●● C-H bond length
Answer: 1.09 A


●● C-H BDE
Answer: 111 kcal/mol
