The negatively charged OH group attacks the backside of the Bromo-Methane (backside in the sense that it is the opposite side to which Bromine is bonded).
A transition state consisting …
Whoops.
Orbital hybridisation is a model used to explain covalent bonding in molecules. It involves the merging of orbitals that are on the same energy level to form new hybrid orbitals. …
A nucleophile and a base are both nucleophilic that means they both have afinity for a electron poor target. Both nucleophile and base are electron rich, often have lone pair …
First of all, it is important to determine what kind of substitution reaction the halogenoalkane will undergo. We are given the information that it is a primary halogenoalkane, which generally …
The sigma bond results due to the overlapping of orbitals along an inter-nuclearaxis. In other words if two s orbitals are directly overlapping, then the bond formed is linear between …
The first thing you must do is balance all atoms on either side of the equation besides hydrogen and oxygen. Secondly add water to the side which is oxygen defecient …
A titration is way to find an unknown concentration of a sample through a chemical reaction. The most common titration involves an acid and base to react. In order to …
Well the method I use for calculations in thermochemistry is a little different from the textbooks but is far easier to understand.
I would approach this question by drawing out …
The Atomic radius of an atom represents its atomic size. More specifically, it refers to the half-distance between the two nuclei of two adjacent atoms of the same element. In …
The answer stems from the lanthanide (or lanthanoid) contraction. In more detail, there is a steady decrease in the radii of atoms from Lanthanum through to Lutetium, despite the associated …
The Iodoalkane will have the fastest rate of reaction. The Bromoalkane will have the second fastest, while the Floroalkane will have the slowest. This is because the atomic radius increases …
The electron configuration of zinc is [Ar]4s23d10. The only oxidative state which zinc has is Zn2+ in which its configuration is [Ar] (4s0)3d …
The equivalence point is reached when the titrant added neutralizes the titrand. It is thought that when a solution is neutral it would have a pH of 7. However, the …
I will explain to students that even though they only need to use three features, it is important to learn and understand all five features to excel in the exam. …
The two main types of are structural isomers and stereoisomers. Structural Isomers have the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms. The position of the functional group can …
Hydrogen bonding
1) Determine the moles of each reactant and thus the limiting reagent:# moles= mass (g)/Mr . Mr of P4O10 = (4 x 30.97) + …
