Conformations of Ethane

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

Anomalous Properties of First Elements of the Groups in P Block

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

Trends in the Chemical Reactivity of P Block Elements

  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

Components of Ecosystem

At any given period we find ourselves amidst nature, which includes a wide variety of things such as rivers, mountains, plants, and animals. All these living and non-living organisms have a way of collaboration between them for their survival. Therefore in an ecosystem, living organisms interact among themselves and with the physical environment. There are … Read more

Reactions of P-Block Elements with Acids and Alkalis

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

Chemical Reactions of Alkenes

  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

Methods of Preparation of Alkenes

  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

Markownikov addition and peroxide effect

Addition of hydrogen, halogen, water, hydrogen halides(Markownikov’s addition and peroxide effect) Addition of Hydrogen to Alkenes The addition of hydrogen to the carbon-carbon double bonds of the alkenes is called hydrogenation. Overall, it is the reductive removal of the functional group which has double bonds. This addition of hydrogen to an alkene causes the production … Read more

Physical Properties of Alkenes

  Alkenes have a double bond of carbon-carbon due to which the physical properties are changed. These are unsaturated compounds of carbon. These are compounds of hydrocarbons and they are odorless and colorless in nature. In the alkene group, the first three members are gaseous in nature, the next fourteen are liquids and the remaining … Read more

Aromaticity

  Aromaticity is a term used in the organic chemistry for describing the cyclic and the planar molecules which have the resonance bonds and exhibits the more stability than the geometric or connective arrangements in the same kind of the atoms. Aromaticity is the property of conjugated cycloalkenes that enhances the stabilization of the molecules. … Read more
