Hybridisation of Benzene

Benzene is an organic molecule with the chemical formula C6H6, a colourless liquid. It is classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon since its structure is entirely of carbon and hydrogen. It is frequently used as a solvent or an intermediary in synthesising numerous compounds in the chemical industry. It’s also used to make colours, plastics, detergents, […]

Homologous Series

Introduction A homologous series is a collection of molecules with comparable chemical characteristics and functional groups that differ by CH2 from one another. In organic molecules with the same general formula, carbon chains of various lengths have been discovered. A series of organic compounds is formed by organic compounds that differ from one another by

High Melting and Boiling Points of Compounds

The first element in the periodic table is hydrogen. Under normal circumstances, it is an odourless, tasteless, and colourless gas. Hydrogen bonding is the process of creating hydrogen (H) bonds, which is an intermolecular attractive force that results from the interaction of a hydrogen atom with a strongly electro-negative atom. Hydrogen shows covalent bonds to

Formation of Ammonia Boron Trifluoride

Ammonia Boron Trifluoride or Trifluoroborane ammonia has a molecular formula of BF3H3N. Its molecular weight is 84.84 u. It has coordinate bonding which is sometimes also known as dative covalent bonding. In a coordinate bond, both electrons are contributed from the same atom. The other atom does not share its electron, it is only a

Examples of Hydrogen Bonding

Hydrogen is the first element of the periodic table. It is an odourless, tasteless and colourless gas under normal conditions. It is made up of diatomic molecules H2 and is represented by the symbol H. With the atomic number one, hydrogen is made up of one electron and one proton. Hydrogen bonding is described as

Enthalpies of Bond Dissociation

Introduction In chemistry, the situation comes up many times when we hear the word ‘Enthalpy.’ What does ‘Enthalpy’ mean? What are its properties? How can we define it? Do different compounds have different enthalpies? What are the types of enthalpies? What is the importance of enthalpy in the industrial sector? Let us discuss all of

Enthalpies of Bond (Dissociation, Combustion, Formation)

The enthalpy change that happens when one mole of a certain bond is broken in the gas phase is referred to as the enthalpy of a bond. Because breaking a chemical bond requires energy, bond enthalpies are always positive numbers. The projected change in enthalpy for each chemical reaction is the summation of the bond

Electronic Displacement in a Covalent Bond

A covalent bond, also known as the molecular bond, is a chemical bond that is formed when electron pairs are shared between two different atoms. The forces that are present between the two atoms during their bonding, be it attraction or repulsion are termed covalent bonding. To know what is a covalent bond better, here

Effects of Hydrogen Bonding on Elements

Hydrogen bonding, an essential chemistry concept, is part of organic chemistry. It majorly deals with the formation of hydrogen bonds. In other words, hydrogen bonding is the process of forming hydrogen bonds that are an attractive intermolecular force’s special class that arises because of the interaction between the hydrogen atom and the highly electronegative atom.

Double Bonds

A double bond is a chemical bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. This type of bond involves four bond electrons between atoms instead of the two bond electrons usually involved in single bonds. Double bonds tend to be reactive due to a large number of electrons. Double bonds are
