Nucleophile
Electron-rich species

i.e. alkene
Chapter 3
Electrophile
Electron-deficient species
Chapter 3
Electrophilic Addition Reaction
i.e. alkenes
Chapter 3
Hyperconjugation
Delocalization of electrons by the overlap of a sigma bond orbital with an orbital of on an adjacent C atom - explained why the staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than the eclipsed. That is also why alkyl groups stablize carbocations.
Chapter 3
Hammond Postulate
Transition state is more similar in structure to the species which is more similar in energy.
Chapter 4
Constitutional Isomers
Same molecular formula, differ in how atoms connected.
Chapter 4
Regioselectivity
Preferential formation of one constitutional isomer over another.
Chapter 4
Markovnikov's Rule
The electrophile (alkene) adds to the sp2 carbon that is bonded to the greater number of hydrogens.
