The breaking of bonds between the atoms, either with plentiful oxygen or limited oxygen is what Combustion of hydrocarbon is all about. The products formed out of this reaction are water and CO2. Depending on the amount of oxygen, combustion is explained as follows: Complete combustion Complete combustion takes place in the presence of plentiful … Read more
An electrophile is a widely used term in organic chemistry and it is an acceptor of the electron pair. They are positively charged having the vacant orbitals that are attracted towards the electron-rich center. Electrophile participates in the chemical reactions by accepting an electron pair for bonding to the nucleophile. Due to their properties of … Read more
The thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures in an inert atmosphere is known as Pyrolysis. It is an irreversible process and involves a change of chemical composition. The word Pyrolysis comes from the Greek-derived elements pyro “fire” and lysis “separating”. Pyrolysis can be rightly defined as the conversion of a compound into smaller fragments in the absence of air through the application of heat. Basically … Read more
It is an anion in which carbon is having unshared pair of electrons and has a negative charge with the three substituents for the total of eight valance electrons. It is found in the trigonal pyramidal geometry. A carbanion is formally the conjugate base of the carbon acid. In the organic chemistry, it is one … Read more
Conformations are basically the type of stereoisomers that shows the isomerism on the basis of rotations around the sigma bonds. This type of isomerism is termed as Conformational isomerism. The only barrier acting in the inter transitions of the isomers is the rotational energy. In order to change the conformations, the isomers have to overcome … Read more
The anomalous behavior of the first elements in the groups of p block elements is due to their small size, high ionization enthalpies, large charge to radius ratio, unavailability of d orbitals in the valence shell and high electronegativity. The first element in the p block elements have the four valence orbitals, one orbital is … Read more
In the P block elements, the last electron enters to the furthest p orbital. In their peripheral shell, there are three to eight electrons. The quantity of p orbitals in the p block elements is three therefore, the maximum number of electrons that can be obliged to this arrangement is six. Consequently, in the … Read more
All the elements in the category of p-block elements have different trends for their reaction with the acids and alkalis and in this article, their reactions with the acids and alkalis will be discussed. At a moderate temperature, the boron does not show any reaction with the acids and alkalis. However, aluminum reacts with the … Read more
Alkenes are more reactive than the alkanes as in their pi bonds the electron density is available. These compounds can participate in the variety of the addition reactions and they can also be used for making the polymers. Addition Reactions Alkenes participate in the many addition reactions. The unsaturated hydrocarbons can help in the … Read more
Alkenes are the members of the family of the hydrocarbons. In between their carbon atoms, there is a double bond. Akenes can be prepared by the various methods and in this article, some of the methods will be discussed. Preparation of Alkenes from Alkynes Alkenes can be prepared by using the alkynes. The conversion … Read more
