131.12 M



  • Markovnikov’s rule^7 - States that ”when an unsymmetrical alkene reacts with a hydrogen
    halide to give an alkyl halide, the hydrogen adds to the carbon of the alkene that has the
    greater number of hydrogen substituents, and the halogen to the carbon of the alkene
    with the fewer number of hydrogen substituents.”

  • Mass number - The total number of protons and neutrons (together known as nucleons)
    in an atomic nucleus

  • Mass spectrometry -

  • Mechanism -

  • Meso compound -

  • Meta -

  • Methylene group -

  • Molality - A measure of the concentration of a solute in a solvent given by moles of solute
    per kg of solvent.

  • Molarity - A measure of the concentration, given by moles of solute per liter ofsolution
    (solute and solvent mixed).

  • Mole - A measure of a substance that is approximately Avogadro’s Number (6.022×10^23 )
    of molecules of the substance. More simply, calculate the molecule’s atomic mass and
    that many grams of the substance is a mole.

  • Molecule -

  • Monomer - A small molecule that may become chemically bonded to other monomers to
    form a polymer.

  • Nitrile - Any organic compound which has a -C≡N functional group.

  • NMR - See Nuclear magnetic resonance.

  • Non-bonding electrons -

  • Normality -
