ether vs double bond priority
do ethers have priority over double bonds? i believe the double bond will count as the longest chain and the ether counts as a substituent but i am not sure.

Re: Two cycloalkanes attached to each other
Do we have to know spiroalkanes and bicycloalkanes for the exam?

Quiz 3 question
On the Friday Quiz there was a question asking about how k affects affects activation energy.
the course reader says that a higher k will cause lower activation energy but i got this wrong on the quiz. anybody know why?

Re: Kinetically Controlled vs. Thermodynamically Controlled
Why is Co2 an an electrophile? I feel like it would be a nucleophile because of the electron density in the double bonds.

Re: CH3CL CourseReader pg 85
CH3Cl is an electrophile because the chlorine makes the carbon atom a have a partial positive charge, making it susceptible to attack.
