Physical organic chemistry

Physical organic chemistry is the study of the interrelationships between structure and reactivity in organic molecules. It a part of organic chemistry by using tools of physical chemistry such as chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, thermochemistry, and quantum chemistry.

electron density

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

If P(x,y,z) dx dy dz is the probability of finding an electron in the volume element dx dy dz at the point of a molecular entity with coordinates x,y,z, then P(x,y,z) is the electron density at this ...

electron detachment

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

The reverse of an electron attachment.

electron donor

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

(1) A molecular entity that can transfer an electron to another molecular entity, or to the corresponding chemical species. + (2) A Lewis base. This use is discouraged.

electron transfer

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

The transfer of an electron from one molecular entity to another, or between two localized sites in the same molecular entity.

electronegativity

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

A measure of the power of an atom or a group of atoms to attract electrons from other parts of the same molecular entity. The concept has been quantified by a number of authors, including especially ...

electroneutrality principle

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

The principle expresses the fact that all pure substances carry a net charge of zero.

electronic configuration

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

A distribution of the electrons of an atom or a molecular entity over a set of one-electron wavefunctions called orbitals, according to the Pauli principle. From one configuration several states with ...
