In the last post, we introduced ourselves to a new concept in organic chemistry – Aromaticity. We will continue to discuss it in this post.
From this post onwards we begin discussing a new topic in organic chemistry. This topic deals with a certain class of organic compounds, which are
We studied the structure of benzene in the last post. However, the structure of benzene has many resonance contributors. The resonance structures of benzene can
This topic is sort of a link between the earlier topic we discussed(Resonance) and the upcoming topic we shall start discussing soon. The structure of
In the last post, we studied what resonance means and how resonating structures blend to give the resonance hybrid structure. In this post, we shall
From this post onwards, we shall start discussing a phenomenon, which manifests itself in many compounds and which is responsible for deviations in structure, properties,
Q: Why is o- hydroxy benzaldehyde a liquid whereas p-hydroxy benzaldehyde a solid, with high MP, at room temperature? A: o- hydroxy benzaldehyde has intramolecular
We continue to study the physical manifestations of H- bonds and their importance. Protein folding Hydrogen bonds are an integral part of the protein structure.
We studied hydrogen bonding in the last two posts. In this post, we will study the types of these bonds and their implications. The H-bond,
I take immense pride in writing the 100th post on this blog. I am glad that I could continue writing throughout my pregnancy after my daughter was
In this post, we start discussing a type of secondary bonding, without which life would not be possible !! How is hydrogen bonding and life
