Chemical reactions of Alkane: Substitution reaction: It is the substitution reaction of alkane with Chlorine (Cl2), Bromine (Br2) etc. Halogenation of alkane: It takes place…

Source of Hydrocarbons: Generally oil reserves in sedimentary rocks are the source of hydrocarbons for the energy, transport and petrochemical industries. Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Petrolium oil. Kerosine…

Optical Isomerism: Optical isomers are mirror-images to each other and have an asymmetric or chiral carbon atom in their molecules. They can rotate the plane…

Chiral Carbon: If two objects are the mirror image of each other and they are not super impossible, then they are said to be chiral.…

Geometric isomerism (also known as cis-trans isomerism or E-Z isomerism) is a form of stereoisomerism. They are molecules that are locked into their spatial positions…

Tautomerism: A reaction which involves simple proton transfer in an intramolecular fashion is called a tautomerism. It is one type of kinetic functional isomerism. It is…

Metamerism: This type of isomerism is due to the unequal distribution of carbon atom on either side of the functional group. The individual members are…

Distinction between Free Radical Reaction and Polar Reaction Free Radical Reaction Occurs by free radical which is formed in homolytic fission. Catalyzed by the light,…

Such compounds which have the same molecular formula but differ from one another in physical and chemical properties due to different structural formula or different…

Homologous Series Characteristics: General formula: All the members of a series can be represented by same general formula. Same functional group: All members of a…
