A dative covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons where the shared pair of electrons originate from the same atom.

Benzene is a planar molecule (all the atoms lie in one plane), and that would also be true of the Kekulé structure. The problem is that C-C single and double bonds are different lengths (C-C: 0.154 nm C=C...

Firstly, we need to write a balanced equation for the oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ . We know that when something is oxidised, it is losing electrons, making the half equation: Fe^2+...

3-bromo 3 methyl pentane will be the major product while 1 bromo 3 methyl pentane will be the minor. This is due to a more stable carbocation being formed. A secondary carbocation is more stable than a pr...
