What is base? According to Lewis theory of acids and bases, a base is the one which has the availability of electrons to donate to an acid. Here, we need to find the stronger base among benzyl amine and aniline. A stronger base will be the one whose electrons are easily available for donation. Structure […]

In this post, we will discuss about the halogenation of alkane with a previous year question based on it. What is the halogenation of alkane? A halogenation reaction is a chemical reaction between a substance and a halogen in which one or more halogen atoms are incorporated into molecules of the substance. Halogenation of an

Compound X has the molecular formula C4H10O2. X has an unbranched carbon chain and contains two OH groups. On reaction with an excess of hot alkaline potassium permanganate X is converted into a compound of molecular formula C4H6O4.To which two carbon atoms in the chain of X are the two OH groups attached?A. 1st and

This question is word problem of organic chemistry. The question is provided below: Each of the compounds below is treated separately with excess NaBH4. The product of each reaction is then heated with excess concentrated H2SO4. In each case, one or more products are formed with molecular formula C7H10. Which compounds give only one final product with the molecular

Amine is a type of compound that is derived from ammonia, i.e., NH3. We can simply say, that amines are derivatives of ammonia. We study about amines in Organic Chemistry, and they are basically classified as functional groups or organic nitrogen compounds that contain a nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Generally, in amines, hydrogen

Tip: To know the acidic character of haloform, we have to look for the stability of conjugate base What is acidic character? Acidic character is the ability to or a tendency to lose a proton and form a stable conjugate base. Factor acidic character depends Acidic character of the acid depends upon the stability of

What is acidic character? Acidic character is the ability to or a tendency to lose a proton. Carboxylic acid is highly acidic in nature. Factors responsible for acidic character (acidity) Inductive effect Mesomeric effect Hyperconjugation effect Ortho effect (especially for benzoic acid) Dependency of acidity on the above effects Acidity is directly proportional to -I, -M,

Pro Tip! Benzamide is less easily hydrolysed because of difference of positive charge density on carbonyl carbon. In hydrolysis reaction, hydroxyl ion (OH–) attacks on the carbonyl carbon, so we need to check out the positive charge density on carbonyl carbon. Solution We know that the nitrogen is less electronegative as compared to oxygen. So,

In this post, everything about steric inhibition of resonance is explained. What is steric inhibition of resonance effect? SIR stands for Steric Inhibition in Resonance. As per its name, steric means size, inhibition means some kind of hindrance and resonance means delocalisation or conjugation. We know that the planarity is the main condition for resonance
