60. Example of an Enzyme Catalyst

62. Understanding Organic Reactions Homolysis generates two uncharged species with unpaired electrons. A reactive intermediate with a single unpaired electron is called a radical. Radicals are highly unstable because they contain an atom that does not have an octet of electrons. Heterolysis generates a carbocation or a carbanion. Both carbocations and carbanions are unstable intermediates. A carbocation contains a carbon surrounded by only six electrons, and a carbanion has a negative charge on carbon, which is not a very electronegative atom. Bond Making and Bond Breaking

63. Understanding Organic Reactions Equations for organic reactions are usually drawn with a single reaction arrow (  ) between the starting material and product. The reagent, the chemical substance with which an organic compound reacts, is sometimes drawn on the left side of the equation with the other reactants. At other times, the reagent is drawn above the arrow itself. Although the solvent is often omitted from the equation, keep in mind that most organic reactions take place in liquid solvent. The solvent and temperature of the reaction may be added above or below the arrow. The symbols “h ” and “  ” are used for reactions that require light and heat respectively.
