This mechanism is an example of an electrophillic addition reaction.

Firstly consider the approach of a Br2, and how that bond will develop an induced dipole as a result of the high electron densit...

There are three types of intermolecular forces; 1. Van der Waal forces 2. Dipole-dipole forces 3. Hydrogen bonding Van der waals are the weakest and hydrogen bonding is the strongest. Van der Waal forces ...

Sulfur is a group six element, meaning it can form up to six bonds with halogen atoms such as F or Cl. In the instance where only four valence electrons of S are bonded to the halogens, the remaining two ...

The difference in mechanism between tertiary halogenoalkanes and primary halogenoalkanes is caused by the difference in relative stability between the two carbocation intermediates formed. In the case of ...

Lattice dissociation enthalpy is the enthalpy change when one mole of a gaseous ionic lattice dissociates into isolated gaseous ions. The process is endothermic because energy is required to overcome the ...
