The reactions of organic compounds can he classified into four main groups. They are: Substitution, Addition, Elimination and Rearrangement. Organic reactions are molecular type of…

Distinction between σ -bond and π-bond σ – bond A σ-bond is formed by the co-axial overlapping (head to head overlap) of atomic orbital. A…

Hybridization is the process of the formation of new equivalent orbitals. It is the concept of intermixing of the orbitals of an atom having nearly…

Catenation: The Latin Word “catena” means chain. The tendency to form a straight chain branched chain or ring-like structures of an element is known as…

Here explain difference properties between Organic Compounds and Inorganic Compounds: Organic compounds Number: About 8.2 million organic compounds are found. Composition: They contain carbon as…

Chloroform (trihloromethane), CHCl3 is the simplest trihalogen compound in which hydrogen atoms of methane are substituted by three chlorine atoms. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling, volatile,…

The aromatic compounds apparently contain alternate double and single bonds in a cyclic structure, and resemble benzene in chemical behaviour. They undergo substitution rather than…

Simple hydrocarbons for use as refrigerants are comfortably inside it. There has been a move towards hydrocarbons and away from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as refrigerants because…

Ethylene (CH2 =CH2) is obtained by cracking petroleum distillate and is an important ‘building block’ in petrochemical manufacture. Large quantities of it are transported. Ethylene…

This has in some degree been anticipated in the previous section. Vapour pressures of pure methane and pure propane are of course, at a particular…
