Homolysis (chemistry), the Glossary
In chemistry, homolysis or homolytic fission is the dissociation of a molecular bond by a process where each of the fragments (an atom or molecule) retains one of the originally bonded electrons.[1]

Adenosylcobalamin
Adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), also known as coenzyme B12, cobamamide, and dibencozide, is, along with methylcobalamin (MeCbl), one of the biologically active forms of vitamin B12.

Alpha cleavage
Alpha-cleavage (α-cleavage) in organic chemistry refers to the act of breaking the carbon-carbon bond adjacent to the carbon bearing a specified functional group.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Alpha cleavage
Atom
Atoms are the basic particles of the chemical elements.

Bond energy
In chemistry, bond energy (BE) is one measure of the strength of a chemical bond.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Bond energy
Bond-dissociation energy
The bond-dissociation energy (BDE, D0, or DH°) is one measure of the strength of a chemical bond.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Bond-dissociation energy
Captodative effect
The captodative effect is the stabilization of radicals by a synergistic effect of an electron-withdrawing substituent and an electron-donating substituent. Homolysis (chemistry) and captodative effect are chemical reactions.

Carbon compounds
Carbon compounds are defined as chemical substances containing carbon.

Chemistry
Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Chemistry
Cofactor (biochemistry)
A cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound or metallic ion that is required for an enzyme's role as a catalyst (a catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction).
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Cofactor (biochemistry)
Covalent bond
A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Covalent bond
Delocalized electron
In chemistry, delocalized electrons are electrons in a molecule, ion or solid metal that are not associated with a single atom or a covalent bond.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Delocalized electron
Deoxyadenosyl radical
A deoxyadenosyl radical is a free radical that is structurally related to adenosine by removal of a 5′-hydroxy group from adenosine.

Electron
The electron (or in nuclear reactions) is a subatomic particle with a negative one elementary electric charge.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Electron
Electron-rich
Electron-rich is jargon that is used in multiple related meanings with either or both kinetic and thermodynamic implications.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Electron-rich
Electron-withdrawing group
An electron-withdrawing group (EWG) is a group or atom that has the ability to draw electron density toward itself and away from other adjacent atoms.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Electron-withdrawing group
Electronegativity
Electronegativity, symbolized as χ, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons (or electron density) when forming a chemical bond.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Electronegativity
Enthalpy
Enthalpy is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume.

Free-radical halogenation
In organic chemistry, free-radical halogenation is a type of halogenation.

Heterolysis (chemistry)
In chemistry, heterolysis or heterolytic fission is the process of cleaving/breaking a covalent bond where one previously bonded species takes both original bonding electrons from the other species. Homolysis (chemistry) and heterolysis (chemistry) are chemical reactions.

HOMO and LUMO
In chemistry, HOMO and LUMO are types of molecular orbitals.

Hyperconjugation
In organic chemistry, hyperconjugation (σ-conjugation or no-bond resonance) refers to the delocalization of electrons with the participation of bonds of primarily σ-character.

Isobutyryl-CoA mutase
In enzymology, an isobutyryl-CoA mutase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 2-methylpropanoyl-CoA, and one product, butanoyl-CoA.

Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase
Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM), mitochondrial, also known as methylmalonyl-CoA isomerase, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUT gene.

Mole (unit)
The mole (symbol mol) is a unit of measurement, the base unit in the International System of Units (SI) for amount of substance, a quantity proportional to the number of elementary entities of a substance.

Molecular entity
In chemistry and physics, a molecular entity, or chemical entity, is "any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion, complex, conformer, etc., identifiable as a separately distinguishable entity".
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Molecular entity
Molecule
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds; depending on context, the term may or may not include ions which satisfy this criterion.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Molecule
Orbital hybridisation
In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Orbital hybridisation
Peroxide
In chemistry, peroxides are a group of compounds with the structure, where the R's represent a radical (a portion of a complete molecule; not necessarily a free radical) and O's are single oxygen atoms.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Peroxide
Polarizability
Polarizability usually refers to the tendency of matter, when subjected to an electric field, to acquire an electric dipole moment in proportion to that applied field.
See Homolysis (chemistry) and Polarizability
Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis is the process of thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures, often in an inert atmosphere.

Radical (chemistry)
In chemistry, a radical, also known as a free radical, is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron.

Resonance
In physics, resonance refers to a wide class of phenomena that arise as a result of matching temporal or spatial periods of oscillatory objects.

Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

Van der Waals strain
Van der Waals strain is strain resulting from Van der Waals repulsion when two substituents in a molecule approach each other with a distance less than the sum of their Van der Waals radii.
