Reducing vs. Non Reducing Sugars: Comparison and Examples
The sugars are classified as reducing and non-reducing sugars. The reducing sugars are the carbohydrates in which the free aldehyde or free ketone group is [...]
Carbocation Stability
The carbocation stability order is from tertiary the most stable of all to methyl carbocation the least stable. The stability is explained by the electron-donating [...]
Ozonolysis: History, Types, and Examples
In organic chemistry, ozonolysis is a class of chemical reactions in which ozone is employed for the oxidative or reductive cleavage of organic compounds. However, [...]
Carbocation Rearrangement
If there is any possibility of the formation of more than one carbonation, then the less stable carbocation is transformed into the more stable one [...]
Solubility Product (Ksp) – Definition, Applications
Ksp is defined as the product of the equilibrium concentration of ions, each raised to a power that is its coefficient in the balanced chemical [...]
SN2 Reaction
The SN2 is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. In this reaction, 'S' stands for substitution. 'N' stands for nucleophilic and '2' stands for bimolecular. It takes [...]
Point Groups: Symmetry Classification of Molecules and Examples
Each molecule has a set of symmetry operations that define the molecule’s overall symmetry. These sets of symmetry operations are known as point groups. To [...]
What is a Spontaneous Reaction?
The spontaneous reaction is an irreversible process in which the total Gibbs energy is less than zero while the total entropy tends to increase. Spontaneous [...]
Debye Forces
Debye force, named after the Dutch-American chemist, Peter J. W. Debye, is the intermolecular force of attraction that exists between a permanent dipole and another [...]
Coin Cleaning: Mechanical, Chemical & Electrochemical Methods
Coin collection is a hobby for people, they collect them from one generation and pass them to the next generation. Therefore, these collected coins are [...]
