Mass spec is used alongside many analytical techniques, and provides information of the structural formula of a molecule such as proteins. Initially the sample is vapourised and then ionised by bombarding...

We would use something called Markovniov's rule. Essentially, the H+ ion (or proton) that is attracted to the electron dense double bond of the alkene, is added to the carbon that has the most Hydrogen at...

Name of reaction: Nucleophilic Addition-Elimination.

First ionisation energies decrease down groups in the Periodic Table:-larger atomic radius-increased nuclear charge is outweighted by increased shielding-reactivity increases down the group as it's easier...

All three molecules have induced dipole-dipole interactions. Propane has a higher boiling point than ethane as propane has a higher molecular mass. This means there are more electrons present and the indu...
