In atoms, electrons arrange in different shells (K, L, M...), each holding a number of orbitals (s, p, d, f...). Each orbital holds a maximum of 2 electrons. In some circ...

The cental atom in each of these molecules is C, N and O respectivly, of these both N and O are members of the family of three atoms that can form hydrogen bond (also incluidng F), when directly bonded to...

Many organic molecules follow specific formulas to help identify them. For Alkanes this is: C_nH_2n+2 (n being the total number of carbon atoms). However, this is not the case with the...

Alkenes have stereoisomers because no free rotation possible around the C=C double bond, as to do so would break the pi-bond between the two atoms. which requires energy to break.

The ketone group is planar and the cyanide ion has equal chance of attacking above or below the plane. Therefore a racemic mixture of the product is formed and the product shows no optical activity
