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,
In this post, we shall study how to draw structural formulae for different organic molecules. Understanding the structural representation of molecules is very important, as
We studied the concept of empirical formula in the previous post. The empirical formula gives us the relative number of elements present in the compound.
This post is dedicated to understanding the empirical formula concept in organic chemistry. In the successive posts, we shall study other types of formulae too.
It gives me immense gratification to be writing this 50th post after one year of starting this blog. It gives me even more pleasure to be discussing a
Let us begin our discussion on one of the most profound branches of chemistry. This branch almost exclusively deals with only one element and its
