QUANTUM MECHANICS - The theory explaining why energies and angular momenta of atoms and molecules are quantized VALENCE ELECTRON (SPECIAL FACT) - Valence electrons are involved in the formation of bonds and core electrons are not involved in chemical bonding. ATOMIC RADIUS - - Calculated by measuring the internuclear distance and dividing by 2. - More electrons mean a larger radius. CATIONIC RADII - Cation will always be smaller than neutral species. ANIONIC RADII - Anion is larger ...

Perform a site-directed mutagenesis a. pair mutagenic primers with WT primers b. Purify products from PCR, and perform a second PCR with the WT primers 3. Clone amplified WT and mutant gene of interest into an expression vector a. cut product with correct restriction enzymes b. Purify c. Ligate expression vector with WT and mut...

Aromatic Compounds - the class of compounds that contain six-membered benzene-like rings with three double bonds 120 degrees; sp2 - benzene is a planar molecule with the shape of a regular hexagon. All C-C-C bond angles are______, all six carbon atoms are _____-hybridized, and each carbon has a p-orbital perpendicular to the plane of the six-membered ring. Toluene - Name this: Benzoic Acid - Name this: Phenol - Name this: Aniline - Name this: Benzaldehyde - Name this: Ortho ...

core electrons - The electrons that are not in the outermost shell of an atom valence electrons - Electrons on the outermost shell, which for chemical bonds cation size - Smaller than neutral atom due to less electrons which are pulled closer by the nucleus anion size - larger than neutral atom isoelectronic - same number of electrons, the more negative a species is, the greater its size Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) - the actual nuclear charge experienced by an electron, atoms ...
