Alkyl Halides Nomenclature and Structure

So much of chemistry, including organic chemistry, involves acids and bases. In this 

A low pATj means that the molecule in question is a strong acid, a good proton donor. Conversely, a high pAT means that the compound is a poor acid. 

We also encounter solvation in this chapter. Being able to choose an appropriate solvent for a reaction, and to understand how solvents operate, is an important skill both in the practical world and in this course. 

The synthetic sequence alkene — halide — Grignard reagent is one you will use many times in solving synthetic problems.
