Study of covalent compounds of carbon and hydrogen
(C-H) and their derivatives
Aromaticity rules in chemistry are a very fascinating concept that follows Huckle’s rule. The molecule that shows aromatic character must possess a planar, cyclic structure with a p-electron system. this system contains 4n+2π electrons. [ez-toc] Aromaticity: The term aromaticity in chemistry tells us the stability and specific properties of many cyclic compounds having alternated double…
UV Vis spectroscopy is also known as electronic spectroscopy which involves the absorption of electromagnetic radiations and results in the excitation of electrons from low-energy molecular orbitals to high-energy molecular orbitals. The UV Vis region absorbs radiations in the range of 200-400nm. This type of spectroscopy is used to find aromatic conjugation within molecules. …
[ez-toc] Intermediates are the type of species that formed during a chemical reaction. They are short-lived species with low stability, but their stability may increase by further rearrangements. In any chemical reaction, almost two types of intermediates are formed: Synthetic intermediates Reactive intermediates What are synthetic intermediates? Synthetic intermediates are our main products, they are…
The word Aromatherapy is a combination of two words Aroma meaning ‘smell‘ and therapy meaning ‘treatment‘. What is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is a natural process that uses essential oil as the main therapeutic reagent to heal person’s mind, body and soul. Essential oils are mixture of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ethers, ketones, oxides,…
Nutraceuticals are the products that are derived from food sources, they have extra health benefits other than simple nutritional value. History about nutraceuticals: The term nutraceuticals combine by two words nutrient and pharmaceuticals. Nutrient mean nourishing food components and pharmaceuticals means medical drug. The name of nutraceuticals was coined by the American scientist Stephen DeFelice…
Naming alkenes( Nomenclature of alkenes) is done by replacing ending -ane of alkanes by -ene. Like, ethane becomes ethene and soon. International union of Pure and Applied Chemistry devised a rule for naming organic compounds through which each compound has given a specific name and with the help of this rule we can easily recognize…
Organic compounds having saturated carbon atoms are called alkanes. It contains sp3 hybridized carbons with all σ bonds and is the least reactive compound of the organic family. They are also called paraffin (waxy). [ez-toc] Introduction: Alkanes are saturated organic compounds that possess carbon and hydrogen with a single covalent bond. They consist of a…
Alkenes are unsaturated compounds having C-C double bonds. They are also called as olefins(meaning “oil forming gas”). Each double- bonded carbons in alkenes is sp2 hybridized .They are reactive as compared to alkanes because of presence of π-bond which is easily broken and hence undergo a number of reactions. [ez-toc] Introduction: Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons…
