Containing Nitrogen

Even though the other applications are essential, the manufacturing of substances containing nitrogen compounds consumes the vast majority of elemental nitrogen. It’s difficult to get molecular nitrogen to enter other combinations because the triple bond between atoms in nitrogen molecules is so strong. The Haber-Bosch process for producing ammonia is the most widely used commercial […]

Configuration of D/L-Glucose

Configuration of D/L-Glucose indicates the alignment and adjustment of the atoms of carbohydrates and acids in the structure of glucose. Glucose is the most abundantly available carbohydrate; it is very common in nature. The definitive physical trait of glucose is its sweet taste. Chemically glucose is obtained from starch. The configuration of D/L-Glucose tells us

Cannizzaro Reaction

The Cannizzaro reaction is an equilibrium process in which two molecules of an aldehyde combine with a hydroxyl radical to produce a primary alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This is illustrated in the example of benzaldehyde converting benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid. Examples of the Cannizzaro reaction include vanillin, benzaldehyde, syringaldehyde, and formaldehyde, which lack

Buckminsterfullerene

C60 was founded in 1985 by Robert Curl, Harold Kroto, and Richard Smalley.  In 1990, W. Kretschmer described the first actual synthesis of  C60, a molecule shaped like a football and called Buckminsterfullerene. The experiment of Kroto involves a technique that uses a laser to vaporise a graphite rod in a helium stratosphere to produce carbon

Basic Information about NO₂:

Nitrogen is a mainly diatomic nonmetal gas that is generally colourless, odourless, and tasteless. In most compounds, it is trivalent because its outer shell has five electrons. The majority of nitrogen molecules are present in the atmosphere. Nitrogen is found in the form of nitrates and nitrites in water and soil. All of these elements

Amide Structure

Among the many different functional groups, amides are carbonyl groups connected to nitrogen, hydrogen, or both by a single bond. Amines and ammonia are nitrogen-containing compounds, and amides fall within the ammonia category. Changing the hydroxyl group (OH) of an acid to the amino group results in a molecule that is neither acidic nor neutral

Tranquillizers

Introduction Tranquillizers are those drugs that target the central nervous system, or the CNS, and act as depressants. The term tranquillizer was first coined in 1953 by F. F. Yonkman. These drugs are called tranquillizers because they cause a calming effect and a state of tranquillity in animals. In medicine, these drugs are known as

Reaction of Alkali Metals With Ammonia

Liquid ammonia is a colourless gas with a distinctly unpleasant odour. It is lighter than air because its density is 0.589 times that of air. Due to the strong hydrogen bonds that exist between molecules, it is quickly liquefied; the liquid boils at 33.1°C (27.58 F). Liquid Ammonia Liquid ammonia is produced naturally and by
