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.

Diamond – The electrons are tightly bound between the atoms. Bonds are difficult to break as they are held firmly together hence diamond has a hard structure. Diamond does not have free electrons to carry...
