\Corollary{serre-whitehead}{
Combining this lemma and \TheoremRef{serre-hurewicz} we get the following corollary for rational homotopy theory:
(Rational Whitehead Theorem)
Let $f: X \to Y$ be a map between $1$-connected spaces such that $\pi_2(f)$ is surjective.
\Corollary{rational-hurewicz}{
Then $f$ is a rational equivalence $\iff$$H_i(f; \Q)$ is an isomorphism for all $i$.
(Rational Hurewicz Theorem)
Let $X$ be a $1$-connected space. If $\pi_i(X)\tensor\Q=0$ for all $i < n$, then $H_i(X; \Q)=0$ for all $i < n$. Furthermore we have an isomorphism for all $i \leq n$:
$$\pi_i(X)\tensor\Q\tot{\iso} H_i(X; \Q)$$

\TheoremRef{serre-whitehead} also applies verbatim to rational homotopy theory. However we would like to avoid the assumption that $\pi_2(f)$ is surjective. In \cite{felix} we find a way to work around this.
\Corollary{rational-whitehead}{
(Rational Whitehead Theorem)
Let $f: X \to Y$ be a map between $1$-connected spaces.
Then $f$ is a rational equivalence $\iff$$H_\ast(f; \Q)$ is an isomorphism.

\Proof{
We will replace $f$ by some $f_1$ which is surjective on $\pi_2$. First consider $\Gamma=\pi_2(Y)/\im(\pi_2(f))$ and its Eilenberg-MacLane space $K = K(\Gamma, 2)$. There is a map $q : Y \to K$ inducing the projection map $\pi_2(q) : \pi_2(Y)\to\Gamma$.
We can factor $q$ as
\[\xymatrix @=0.4cm{
Y \arwe[rr]^-\lambda\ar[dr]_-q && Y \times_K MK \arfib[dl]^-{\overline{q}}\\
& K &
}\]
Now $\overline{q}\lambda f$ is homotopic to the constant map, so there is a homotopy $h: \overline{q}\lambda f \eq\ast$ which we can lift against the fibration $\overline{q}$ to $h' : \lambda f \eq f_1$ with $\overline{q} f_1=\ast$. In other words $f_1$ lands in the fiber of $\overline{q}$.
The important observation is that by the long exact sequence $\pi_\ast(i)\tensor\Q$ and $H_\ast(i; \Q)$ are isomorphisms (here we use that $\Gamma\tensor\Q=0$ and that tensoring with $\Q$ is exact). So by the above square $\pi_\ast(f_1)\tensor\Q$ is an isomorphism if and only if $\pi_\ast(f)\tensor\Q$ is (and similarly for homology). Finally we note that $\pi_2(f_1)$ is surjective, so \TheoremRef{serre-whitehead} applies and the result also holds for $f$.
