New cards

reactive substances and reactive atoms

  1. atoms with fewer than the usual numbers of bonds

  2. atoms with lone pairs

  3. weak bonds

  4. strongly polar or charged atoms

2
New cards

nucleophiles

things attracted to species with a positive charge

3
New cards

weak bonds associated with high reactivity

  1. long C-X bonds

  2. pi bonds

  3. X-Y (with lone pairs) - repulsive interactions between the lone pairs

4
New cards

nucleophiles

react by donating a weakly held pair of electrons - often have a partial or full negative charge

5
New cards

electrophiles

react by accepting a pair of electrons - must have a vacant orbital or a weak breakable bond often have a partial/full positive charge
