Semiconductors (qv) are materials with resistivities between those of conductors and those of insulators (between 10 and 10 H-cm). The electrical properties of a semiconductor determine the hmctional performance of the device. Important electrical properties of semiconductors are resistivity and dielectric constant. The resistivity of a semiconductor can be varied by introducing small amounts of material impurities or dopants. Through proper material doping, electron movement can be precisely controlled, producing hmctions such as rectification, switching, detection, and modulation. 

Robinson won the 1947 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his studies of natural products. He may also have been the first to use curved arrows to track electron movement. 

Frontier Orbitals and Chemical Reactivity. Chemical reactions typically involve movement of electrons from an electron donor (base, nucleophile, reducing agent) to an electron acceptor (acid, electrophile, oxidizing agent). This electron movement between molecules can also be thought of as electron movement between molecular orbitals, and the properties of these electron donor and electron acceptor orbitals provide considerable insight into chemical reactivity. 

Orbital energy is usually the deciding factor. The chemical reactions that we observe are the ones that proceed quickly, and such reactions typically have small energy barriers. Therefore, chemical reactivity should be associated with the donor-acceptor orbital combination that requires the smallest energy input for electron movement. The best combination is typically the one involving the HOMO as the donor orbital and the LUMO as the acceptor orbital. The HOMO and LUMO are collectively referred to as the frontier orbitals , and most chemical reactions involve electron movement between them. 

For electron movement to occur, the donor and acceptor molecules must approach so that the donor HOMO and acceptor LUMO can interact. For example, the LUMO of singlet methylene is a 2p atomic orbital on carbon that is perpendicular to the molecular plane. Donors must approach methylene in a way that allows interaction of the donor HOMO with the 2p orbital. 

Beeause the anion acts as an electron donor, we can find clues to its reactivity preferences by examining the shape of its HOMO. The HOMO is delocalized over several sites, but the largest contribution to the HOMO clearly comes from the terminal carbon atom. Therefore, we expect electron movement and bond formation to occur at this carbon, and lead to the product shown on the left. 

In all three frontier orbital combinations shown above, the upper orbital components are the same sign, and their overlap is positive. In the two cases on the left, the lower orbital components also lead to positive overlap. Thus, the upper and lower interactions reinforce, and the total frontier orbital interaction is non-zero. Electron movement (chemical reaction) can occur. The right-most case is different. Here the lower orbital components lead to negative overlap (the orbitals have opposite signs at the interacting sites), and the total overlap is zero. No electron movement and no chemical reaction can occur in this case. 

For each reaction, plot energy (vertical axis) vs. the number of the structure in the overall sequence (horizontal axis). Do reactions that share the same mechanistic label also share similar reaction energy diagrams How many barriers separate the reactants and products in an Sn2 reaction In an SnI reaction Based on your observations, draw a step-by-step mechanism for each reaction using curved arrows () to show electron movements. The drawing for each step should show the reactants and products for that step and curved arrows needed for that step only. Do not draw transition states, and do not combine arrows for different steps.

Notice that the mechanism of the nucleophilic acyl substitution step can be given in an abbreviated form that saves space by not explicitly showing the tetrahedral reaction intermediate. Instead, electron movement is shown as a heart-shaped path around the carbonyl oxygen to imply the full mechanism.

As electrons leave the cell from the anode (electrons are released where oxidation occurs), positively charged Cu+2 ions are produced. Negative charge is leaving (by means of the electron movement) and positive charge is produced (the Cu+ ions) in this half of the cell. How is electrical neutrality maintained It must be main-... 

Figure 7-6. Mechanism for catalysis by an aspartic protease such as HIV protease. Curved arrows Indicate directions of electron movement. Aspartate X acts as a base to activate a water molecule by abstracting a proton. The activated water molecule attacks the peptide bond, forming a transient tetrahedral Intermediate. Aspartate Y acts as an acid to facilitate breakdown of the tetrahedral intermediate and release of the split products by donating a proton to the newly formed amino group. Subsequent shuttling of the proton on Asp X to Asp Y restores the protease to its initial state.

The process of active ttanspott differs from diffusion in that molecules ate ttanspotted away from thermodynamic equilibrium hence, energy is required. This energy can come from the hydrolysis of ATP, from electron movement, ot from light. The maintenance of electtochemical gtadients in biologic systems is so important that it consumes pethaps 30—40% of the total energy expenditure in a cell.

They are the basis of many products and processes, from batteries to photosynthesis and respiration. You know redox reactions involve an oxidation half-reaction in which electrons are lost and a reduction half-reaction in which electrons are gained. In order to use the chemistry of redox reactions, we need to know about the tendency of the ions involved in the half-reactions to gain electrons. This tendency is called the reduction potential. Tables of standard reduction potentials exist that provide quantitative information on electron movement in redox half-reactions. In this lab, you will use reduction potentials combined with gravimetric analysis to determine oxidation numbers of the involved substances. 

The elements on the right side of the chart have more electrons j in their outer shells than those on the left, but their nuclei hold I them more tightly. Only the elements in Groups IV and V that have large atoms permit enough free electron movement for them to behave as metals. A diagonal line drawn down the chart from boron to bismuth divides the metals from the nonmetals. None of the elements above the line are metallic. 

Electron transitions in transition-metal ions usually involve electron movement between the d orbitals (d-d transitions) and in lanthanides between the / orbitals (/-/ transitions). The band structure of the solid plays only a small part in the energy of these transitions, and, when these atoms are introduced into crystals, they can be represented as a set of levels within the wide band gap of the oxide (Fig. 9.15).
