1. Draw out the lewis structure of CCl4 by counting the number of valence electrons on each atom. C=4, Cl=7 therefore total valence electrons is 4+(7x4)=32 and total valence electron pairs is 16. 2. De...

The first thing you must do is balance all atoms on either side of the equation besides hydrogen and oxygen. Secondly add water to the side which is oxygen defecient to balance out the atoms of oxygen on ...

The sigma bond results due to the overlapping of orbitals along an inter-nuclearaxis.  In other words if two s orbitals are directly overlapping, then the bond formed is linear b...

First of all, it is important to determine what kind of substitution reaction the halogenoalkane will undergo. We are given the information that it is a primary halogenoalkane, which generally undergo a S...

A nucleophile and a base are both nucleophilic that means they both have afinity for a electron poor target. Both nucleophile and base are electron rich, often have lone pair of electrons such as Oxygen a...
