Know about Sigma Resonance Or Dancing Resonance

What is sigma resonance or dancing resonance? Sigma resonance or dancing resonance is a special stability mechanism which increases stability of carbocations attached directly to the three membered rings, e.g., cyclopropylmethyl carbocation. Why it occurs? In cyclopropane, all the carbon is sp3 hybridized and the bond angle for the same should be 109°28′, but the […]

Why is the phenoxide ion more stable than phenol?

Phenol and phenoxide ion both are stabilized by resonance. In case of phenol, the lone pair on oxygen atom get delocalize over the benzene ring and this causes a charge separation, i.e., positive charge on oxygen atom while negative charge is on the benzene ring. This type of resonance structures have small contributions to the

Sn1 and Sn2 products are same with (excluding stereoisomers):

SN1 and SN2 products are same with (excluding stereoisomer): (a) In SN1 reaction, rearrangement of carbocation occurs, so it gives different product in SN1 reaction than SN2. (b) The given halide is tertiary, so here SN1 reaction is possible but SN2 is not possible due to steric hindrance. (c) Here secondary halide is given, it

What is the pH of 20 ml of 0.2 M HNO3 mixed with 40 ml of 0.1 M Ba(OH)2?

To find the pH of the resulting solution when pH of 20 ml of 0.2 M HNO3 mixed with 40 ml of 0.1 M Ba(OH)2, find the number of moles of H+ and OH– for each given compound. We know, Moles = Molarity x Volume Since, Ba(OH)2 on dissociation give 2 OH– ion while HNO3 give
