We didn't really cover this much in class, but it was mentioned that cycloalkanes can be considered substituents if they are part of a main chain that has more carbons than they do.
I was wondering where they fall in terms of priority relative to other substituents, in the case where this occurs.

So Dr. Lavelle was talking about how K and Ca are unique in that the 4s2 orbitals fill before the 3d orbitals, but that this doesn't apply after element 20 (Calcium). Can anyone explain this? I'm a bit confused on why it works this way, and why this only occurs before element 20.

Yes, this essentially means that the kinetic energy of the electron is equal to zero. For our uses and purposes, you will usually see questions which will specify "an electron with zero kinetic energy" so you know this is the case. Conceptually, however, it is tricky to understand what thi...
