Hydrocarbons

Michael Faraday discovered benzene in 1825, and it is a colourless, odourless liquid. C6H6 is the benzene molecule’s molecular formula. The organic compound’s molecular formula reveals that it is extremely unsaturated. It is very reactive because of its high degree of unsaturation.  As opposed to alkenes, it does not take part in reactions such as […]

Soil pollution is the poisoning of soil with harmful chemicals in abnormally high amounts. It is a significant environmental concern since it has numerous health dangers. Exposure to soil having high levels of benzene, for example, increases the risk of acquiring leukaemia.  It’s critical to realise that all soils include substances that are dangerous or

Aromaticity is outlined as a property of the conjugated cycloalkenes which reinforces the steadiness of a molecule because of the delocalization of electrons within them. Aromatic molecules are the unit that are terribly stable, and that they don’t break thus simply and additionally react with alternative styles of substances. The organic compounds that don’t seem

Aromatic hydrocarbons are organic molecules with a circular structure and sigma bonds as well as delocalized pi electrons. Arenes or aryl hydrocarbons are other names for them. “Unsaturated hydrocarbons with one or more planar six-carbon rings called benzene rings, to which hydrogen atoms are linked” are aromatic hydrocarbons. A benzene ring can be found in

The Ganga is regarded as a sacred river. It flows from the Gangotri glacier in the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal in eastern India, where it empties/merges. It stretches for 2525 kilometres. The villagers worship this river as a deity. One of India’s key issues is Ganga pollution. The main source of pollution in

Photochemical smog’s composition and chemical reactions were not fully known until the 1950s. Arie Haagen-Smit, a taste chemist, altered some of his equipment to gather compounds from dirty air in 1948, and discovered that ozone was a component of Los Angeles smog. When nitrogen oxides from automobile exhausts and gaseous hydrocarbons from cars and oil

Introduction: Petroleum, often known as crude oil or oil, is a yellowish-black liquid that forms spontaneously in geological formations. It’s frequently processed into a variety of fuels and chemicals. Distillation is used to separate the components of petroleum. Petroleum is mostly made up of hydrocarbons, with traces of other organic molecules thrown in for good

Atmospheric pollutants are compounds that build up in the air to the point where they can be hazardous to living creatures or things exposed to the air. Smoke, smog, & gases such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen and sulfur oxides, & hydrocarbon fumes are all examples of common air pollutants. In smoke and haze, solid or

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry recommends the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry as a system of naming organic chemical compounds in chemical nomenclature (IUPAC). It’s in the Journal of Organic Chemistry’s Nomenclature (informally called the Blue Book). Every potential organic compound should, in theory, have a name that can be translated into

Carbon-12,carbon13 and carbon-14 are the three isotopes of carbon present in nature. Although they all have six protons, their neutron counts 6,7 and 8- differ. This means that while the atomic weights of the three isotopes differ (carbon-14 being the heaviest), they all have the same atomic number (z=6). Because the number of electrons in
