Direct influence of functional groups in mono-substituted Benzene

Introduction In Monosubstituted Benzene, the Functional Group Has A Direct Influence. When mono substituted benzene is electrophilically attacked, the rate of reaction and attack site differ depending on the functional group attached to it. Benzene, despite being an important industrial chemical, has limited application in consumer products due to its toxicity. Benzene One of the

Chemical Properties of Ethene

The simplest of the organic molecules known as alkenes, which contain carbon-carbon double bonds, is ethylene (CH2=CH2). It’s a combustible, colourless gas with a sweet flavour and odour. Both natural gas and petroleum are natural sources of ethylene; It’s also a hormone found in plants that slows growth and encourages leaf fall, as well as

Causes of Water Pollution

Water has always been one of the most important natural resources on the planet. In fact, the water we drink has existed in some form or another since the time of the dinosaurs. More than two-thirds of the earth’s surface is covered in water. This equates to 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters of water dispersed over the oceans,

Categories of Water Pollution

When harmful pollutants pollute a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, the water quality deteriorates and the water becomes toxic to humans or the environment. Water is very susceptible to pollution. Water has the ability to dissolve more compounds than any other liquid. It’s also why water may be so easily

Burning of fossil fuel

Introduction Whenever fossil fuels are burned, nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere, which aids in the creation of smog and acid rain. Nitrogen oxides are the most prevalent nitrogen-related substances produced into the atmosphere by human activities, and they are referred to as a group. The following are the most significant sources of nitrogen

BENZENE

In 1825, Michael Faraday became the first scientist to discover benzene. He recovered benzene from compressed illuminating gas produced from the pyrolysis of whale oil in cylinders. Benzene is a non-polar, colourless, inflammable liquid with a sweet, unique scent that some find pleasant. However, be aware that benzene is extremely poisonous and can be absorbed
