TEST BANK & STUDY GUIDE FOR Organic Chemistry Study Guide, Key Concepts, Problems and Solutions By Robert J. Ouellette and J. David Rawn

Atomic Structure and Properties Two periodic trends are important to understanding the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds. They are electronegativity and atomic radius. The electronegativity scale is an index of the attraction of an atom for an electron. It increases from left to right in a period and from bottom to top in a group of the periodic table. The order of electronegativities for the three most common elements in organic molecules, excluding hydrogen, is C <...
