Dscribe Uses of Alkenes
Alkenes are organic compounds that consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms with one or more carbon-carbon double bonds in their chemical structure. Alkenes are unsaturated…
Describe Antimarkovnikov Rule
Markovnikov rule is quite general but not universal. In 1933, the American chemist M.S. kharach discovered that the addition of HBr to non-symmetrical alkenes, in…
Describe Markovnikov’s Rule
Markovnikov’s Rule was proposed in 1870. During addition of a non-symmetrical polar reagent (such as HX. H2SO4, HOCI etc.) to a non symmetrical alkene, the…

What is Diasteriomer?
Diasteriomer: If two optically active chiral compounds don’t act as mirror images of each other, they are named as `diasteriomers’ of each other. Diastereomers can…
