The distinction between compounds containing only single bonds and those containing multiple bonds or rings.

DoU = (2C + 2 + N − H − X)/2 Dimensionless Organic Chemistry

SN1 Reaction

A two-step nucleophilic substitution proceeding through a carbocation intermediate.

rate = k[substrate] s⁻¹ Organic Chemistry

SN2 Reaction

A single-step nucleophilic substitution in which bond formation and bond breaking occur simultaneously.

rate = k[substrate][nucleophile] L/(mol·s) Organic Chemistry

Stereoisomerism

Isomerism in which molecules have identical connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms.

Dimensionless Organic Chemistry

Structural Isomerism

Isomerism in which the compounds differ in the order in which their atoms are connected.
