Alcohols form a hydrogen bond with water so it is soluble in water. If the molecular weight of the alcohol is higher then it is less water-soluble.... View Article
Covalent bonds are not very strong except for carbon, silicon and diamond. The metallic bonds are strong bonds. The ionic bonds are also strong... View Article
Free radicals are formed either by the metabolism process in the human body or by the external sources like the air pollutants, ozone, x-rays,... View Article
When HBr reacts with alkenes it acts as an electrophile since the pi electrons in the alkene react with the electrophilic H+ of HBr. This happens... View Article
Both corrosion and rusting are oxidation reactions. Rusting occurs only in iron objects while corrosion occurs in metals and non-metals. Rusting... View Article
Sodium chloride is formed from the reaction of a strong acid and a strong base. In the formation of sodium chloride (NaCl), HCl is neutralised by... View Article
Buffers maintain the pH value by neutralizing the acid or base added. The buffers make the acid or base weak and keep the pH value nearly constant.... View Article
Alkali earth metals are highly flammable. Their reaction will result in the release of heat and cause flames, and even releases explosive... View Article
Positional isomers are constitutional isomers, with the same carbon skeleton and will have the same functional group. They differ from each other... View Article
Ammonia can act as both electrophile and nucleophile depending on the need for the reaction. Theoretically, ammonia doesn’t have any vacant... View Article
Yes, objects can move without external force. According to Newton’s first law of motion, every object continues in the state of rest or of... View Article
The strength of an acid is the tendency of the acid to dissociate into a proton, H+ and an anion A-. The equilibrium constant (Ka) of sulphuric... View Article
