Substitution

4

What is the difference between a radical, carbocation, and carbanion?

Radicals are formed through homolysis whereas carbocations and carbanions are formed via heterolysis. Radicals and carbocations are electrophiles whereas carbanions are nucleophiles.

5

Draw an energy diagram for a one step endothermic reaction. Label key components: Axis, Energy of Activation, and Overall Enthalpy

7

What is the difference between thermodynamics and kinetics?

Thermodynamics has to do with difference in energy between products and reactants and equilibrium, whereas kinetic describes reaction rates.
