Haloalkanes are types of hydrocarbons in which hydrogen is replaced by a halogen(group 17 elements)in a normal alkane. The physical properties of haloalkanes are normally like properties of a normal covalent compound. By large functional groups such as carboxyl group or aldehyde doesn’t affect the overall physical properties as halogens are not much reactive. Still, as … Read more

There was no proper system for the naming of compounds initially. Mostly trivial names were used depending upon the country and region. These names used to come from the name of discoverer, the nature of the compound or its place where it was discovered. This system of naming was not standard and led to much … Read more

Uses of DDT Originally, DDT was developed as an insecticide and later on its use was suppressed due to its serious environmental implications. It has been formulated in the various forms including the solution in the xylene, emulsifiable concentrates, and the petroleum distillates, granules, smoke candles, aerosols, charges for the lotions, and vaporizers, and for … Read more

In organic chemistry, alcohols are one of the most important functional group. For the synthesis reactions, alcohols are a good source of reagents. Their identification is extremely important for looking at the NMR and IR spectra. Alcohols that have one to four carbon atoms are called by their common names and the name alkyl group … Read more

Alcohols are prepared by the various method including the reduction of aldehydes, acids, esters, and ketones or by the hydration of the alkenes, Grignard reaction with aldehydes, and ketones, reduction of esters and carboxylic acids, from the hydrolysis of alkyl halides and by the fermentation process. Hydration of Alkenes Elements of water are added to … Read more

Uses of Dichloromethane Dichloromethane is a geminal organic compound, has sweet aroma, and it is volatile and colorless liquid. It is miscible in many organic solvents due to its polar nature. It is a useful solvent for the chemical processes, due to its ability to dissolve the many organic compounds. It is widely used as … Read more
