Kekule Model - 6 membered carbon ringComposed of carbon atoms joined together by alternating single and double bonds
Delocalised Model - A planr cyclic hydrocarbon composed of 6 carbon atoms and 6 hy...

The carbonyl bond is polar as the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the carbon atom. This results in a partial positive charge on the carbon and a partial negative charge on the oxygen. A nucleophi...

You should organise your knowledge by separating synthetic routes into categories, for example: drawing the synthetic pathways of benzenes separately to those of phenols. You should then make posters or f...

Le Chateliers principle states:The position of the equilibrium of a system changes to minimise the effect of any imposed change in conditions.This principle applies to any reaction that is in equilibrium....

The molecule is uncharged, so we can find that chlorine is in its +5 oxidation state. Since there are 5 Cl-F bonds, there are 5 bonding electron pairs around the central Cl atom. We also know that chlorin...
