A pi bond CAN exist independently of a sigma bond.
Front
F
These CANNOT exist without each other.
It is important to remember that a double bond consists of one pi bond and one sigma bond.

What is the most fundamental extraction/solubility rule?
Front
Like will dissolve like
Back
Injected compounds in gas chromatography must have what property?
Front
They must be volatile
Back
Each magnetic quantum number (ml) describes the orbitals within a subshell. Each can hold exactly two electrons that have magnetic spins of what? What describes these?
Front
They can have overall magnetic spins of (+1/2) or (-1/2)

T/F
In distillation, a high temperature can be used to more efficiently separate compounds.
Front
F
This cannot occur because the compounds will degrade and the higher boiling point compound needs to stay in the solvent.
A vacuum distiller can be used to lower the boiling point if needed.
Back
How do anti or bonding molecular orbitals occur?
Front
These are obtained by adding or subtracting the wave functions of molecular orbitals.
Anti is when destructive interference occurs and bonding is when constrictive interference occurs.

In size-exclusion chromatography, LARGER proteins will move more quickly through the mobile phase.

How does the solvent creep up the TLC plate?
Front
Capillary action
Back
Will 2-hydroxybutanal or butane have a higher Rf value on a traditional TLC plate?
Front
The LESS polar substance that is less attached to the stationary phase (the silica gel) will have a higher value as it moves up the plate, so the butane will have a higher Rf value.
Back
How much s character does methane have?
Front
Since the carbon in the center is sp³ hybridized, it is 25% s character and 75% p character.
Back
How should a solvent for recrystallization be chosen?
Front
The product should ONLY be soluble at very high temperatures
Back
What is the purpose of a boiling chip in a distilling column?
Front
This breaks the surface tension and prevents superheating
Back
How can liquids with VERY close boiling points be distilled?
Front
Increasing the surface area in the distillation column (more nooks and crannies)
Back
What is the purpose of vacuum distillation?
Front
This lowers the boiling point of a liquid with a boiling point over 150 degrees C.
Back
The three quantum numbers (n, l, and m) describe the size, shape, and orientation of orbitals in an atom.
What do these three numbers describe?
Front
The n quantum number describes the energy level.
The l (azimuthal quantum number) describes the subshell. This subshell can consist of s, p, d, f, or other orbitals.
The m describes the individual orbitals. Each has from -l to l subshells.
Back
T/F
Any two solvents can be used for an extraction.
