The article covers the three common mistakes made while drawing a hydrogen bond through examples and illustrations.
Neutral NH3 and H2O have one and two lone pairs on the atom, Nitrogen, and Oxygen. Once the atom donates the lone pair to hydrogen, it forms a coordinate covalent bond with it (represented as an arrow).
Intermolecular attractive force brings different atoms, molecules, and ions closer for them to interact. If they associate strongly, in that case, they form bonds like ionic or covalent. However, if the attractive force between them is weak, the molecules or atoms simply stick together in groups.
FC acylation method introduces only the keto group and not the formyl group.
We cover exactly what is a lone pair, how lone pairs are formed, and which electrons of an atom are not considered to be a lone pair.
Differences Between Electrofuge and Electrophile based on definition, examples, and reactions.
Definition of proton with example
An atom or group of atoms migrate from one position to another; such reactions are rearrangement reactions. The rearrangement reactions are of three types, depending on the number of electrons the migrating atom or group carries along with it. They are nucleophilic, electrophilic, and free radical rearrangement.
The two main parameters controlling the strength of London forces are the atomic size and the shape. With examples and illustrations.
Two molecules combine in an addition reaction to form a single addition product (an adduct). The addition occurs in unsaturated molecules of alkenes (C=C), alkynes (C≡C), carbonyls (C=O), and imines (C=N). There are four mechanisms in addition type of reactions- Electrophilic addition, Nucleophilic addition, Free radical addition and Simultaneous addition (Pericyclic).
In substitution reactions, an atom or group of atoms is displaced and replaced by another atom or group of atoms. If the substitution reaction goes through a heterolytic cleavage mechanism, then depending on the reagent, the reaction is of two types- nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution.
Benzene fails to undergo an Iodination reaction. In this article, we explore why and suggest a few methods of increasing the reactivity of Iodine and Benzene to undergo electrophilic addition of Iodine.
We have covered all the scenarios under which anilines and phenols do not undergo Friedel Craft Acylation Reactions, including why they don't.
This section covers what type of atoms to look out for when speaking about Hydrogen bonding. The table covers molecules that perfectly satisfy the donor and acceptor atom requirements and those that don't.
The condensed structural formula provides the shortest way to understand the atoms and their numbers, their connection with respect to each other, and therefore, visualize the compounds' structure without elaborately drawing it, but by writing it in a single line.
Molecules that can be expressed with canonical structures and a resonance hybrid are said to show Resonance
We have covered the main difference between a Lewis acid and an electrophile since both are electron acceptors, and sometimes, the term is used interchangeably. However, formation of a fixed covalent bond is an important step in the decision.
