1. STRUCTURES AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Structures and Physical Properties — Simple Notes Short intro: This page explains basic ideas about how molecules are built and how that affects things you see — like whether a…
2. NOMENCLATURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
Introduction Nomenclature means giving proper IUPAC names to organic compounds. The IUPAC system helps every student, teacher, and scientist understand the same structure with the same name worldwide. These rules…
3. FREE RADICALS CHAIN REACTIONS OF ALKANE
Free Radicals and Chain Reactions of Alkanes In this chapter we learn about how alkanes react through free radicals. Even if chemistry feels difficult, don’t worry — this is written…
4. PREPARATIONS OF CYCLOALKANES
Introduction Alicyclic compounds are simply aliphatic compounds that form rings. When carbon atoms join together in a circular manner, they form cyclic structures. Even though they are rings, they behave…
5. BAYER STRAIN THEORY
Bayer Strain Theory – Easy Explanation for Pharm.D Students Baeyer Strain Theory is an important concept in organic chemistry. It explains why some cycloalkanes (cyclic organic compounds) are stable, while…
6. ORBITAL PICTURE OF ANGLE STRAIN
Orbital Picture of Angle Strain Angle strain is an important concept in organic chemistry, especially when studying cycloalkanes. It explains why some rings like cyclopropane and cyclobutane are unstable, while…
7. NUCLEOPHILES AND LEAVING GROUPS
NUCLEOPHILES AND LEAVING GROUPS 1. What Are Nucleophiles? Nucleophiles are “nucleus-loving” species. This means they donate electrons and attack electron-deficient atoms. Nucleophiles can be: Nucleophiles always attack electrophiles (electron-poor species).…
