Anti

Opposite

Guache

Close

constitutional isomer

compounds with the same molecular formula but a different connectivity of their atoms

stereoisomers

compounds that are different due to spatial arrangement of atoms, not bond rotation

enantiomer

non-superimposable mirror images, all stereo-centers

diastereomer

stereoisomers are not mirror images

Lewis Acid

e- pair acceptor

Lewis Base

e- pair donor

Bronsted Acid

H+ donor

Bronsted Base

H+ acceptor

Strong Acid

Small pka, weak conjugate base, conjugate base is a stable ion

Weak Acid

larger pKa, strong conjugate base, conjugate base not stable ion

Position of equilibrium favors reaction of

the stronger acid and stronger base to form the weaker acid and weaker base
