Tertiary halogenoalkanes will undergo a SN1 reaction. This means that there is 1 molecule in the rate determining step, which is the slowest step. Because of the bulky alkyl groups surrounding the central...

Within the chlorine molecule, there are covalent bonds present between each atom of chlorine. This results in the formation of simple molecules, meaning there are no bonds between molecules of chlorine. A...

Cracking is the process of breaking large Hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones.
This is carried out to refine fuels and increase the yeild in petrolium refining. 

Testing reagent= Acidified solution of potassium dichromate (VI). The alcohol is added and the mixture is heated.

For a primary alcohol- the mixture changes from orange (Cr2O72-) to green (Cr...

The key to determining the shapes of molecules is to think about number of lone and bonded pairs of elections and the interactions between these pairs. In doing this we apply the valence-shell election-pa...
