IUPAC is the International Union of the Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature, that is used as the naming scheme. It provides consistency to the names and gives a unique name to each compound which otherwise is not possible if the common names are used. In the chemical nomenclature, it is the systematic method for giving … Read more
Benzene is the simplest organic compound and an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is the parent compound of the various important aromatic compounds. It is colorless liquid and has a characteristic odor, and primarily it is used in the production of the polystyrene. Benzene is a carcinogen as it is highly toxic, and the exposure to the … Read more
Nucleophiles are chemical species that donate the electron pairs to make the chemical bonds during the reactions. All ions or molecules having free pair of electrons, or having at least one pi bond can act as nucleophiles. Nucleophiles are defined as Lewis bases as they donate the electrons. The word nucleophile means the nucleus lover … Read more
Organic chemistry – Homolytic fission and Heterolytic Fission of a covalent bond The Organic reaction usually involve making and breaking of covalent bonds. The fission of covalent bonds can take place in two ways: Homolytic fission Heterolytic fission Homolytic fission: In Homolytic fission, the cleavage of the covalent bond takes place in such a … Read more
The male and female gametophytes differ in a way such that the pollen grain or microspore produces the male gametophyte while the megaspore produces the female one. These two are the stages of heterosporous plants. The male gametophyte. In an immature anther, the male gametophyte develops. The male reproductive system of a plant contains … Read more

Development of endosperm. Introduction The endosperm is the tissue formed inside the seeds of most angiosperms following fertilization. The endosperm is triploid in most species of flowering plants and surrounds the embryo. Functions. It surrounds the embryo, thus providing nutrition in the form of starch. It may also contain oils and proteins which can … Read more
All of the atoms are surrounded by the electrons which are orbiting around the atoms in the shells. Each shell should be filled by a specific number of electrons. When the shell is completely filled, the electrons start filling the next shells. If the outer shell of an atom is not completely filled it may … Read more
Deforestation is the clearing of forests or trees by humans in order to use the trees and to make the land available for other uses.
