A stronger nucleophile is a highly electron rich or fully negative charge species. It has been experimentally found that the stronger nucleophile favor SN2 reaction mechanism. They have a tendency to react with carbocation more quickly, before a leaving group would have a chance to dissociate and proceed through an…

The SN2 reaction occurs in one step through the backside attack. That is, in this reaction, the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom of the substrate from the opposite side of the living group. The SN2 reaction is completed through the formation of a transition state. In the transition state, the…

Magnesium carbonate is an inorganic salt of carbonic acid with chemical formula MgCO3. Both anhydrous and hydrated forms of magnesium carbonate also exist as minerals. The most common forms of magnesium carbonate are anhydrous salt called magnesite (MgCO3). The others form of magnesium carbonate such as magnesium carbonate dehydrate (MgCo3…

Carbon disulfide is also known as carbon bisulfide, is a neurotoxic colorless volatile liquid with chemical formula, CS2. The IUPAC name of carbon disulfide is methane dithione. Carbon disulfide is a colorless liquid in purest form and it is light yellow under impure state. …

Carbon black material is also known as acetylene black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black, and thermal black. It is a black solid with molar mass 12.01 g/mol. The density of carbon black at 20°C is 1.8–2.1 g/cc. When carbon-rich organic liquids like kerosene, petrol, turpentine oil, benzene etc. …

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is also name as sodium bicarbonate, is a chemical compound with molecular formula, NaHCO3. It is also known as an acidic salt or bi salt, which is made from carbonic acid. Sodium hydrogen carbonate is commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda. …

Ammonium or ammonium ion is a positively charges polyatomic cation with chemical formula, NH4+. The systematic IUPAC name of ammonium ion is azanium. It is formed by the protonation of ammonia molecule and hence it is known as conjugate acid of ammonia. The pKa value of ammonium ion is 9.25. …

Catenation property is found in organic as well as in inorganic compounds. The catenation property mainly shows carbon element in organic chemistry. When two or more atoms of an element combine with each other through the covalently single bond, double bond or triple bond to form a long chain structure…

Optical isomerism: The isomerism in which two or more compounds have same physical and chemical properties but they have different behavior towards plane polarized light, are known as optical isomerism and such type of compounds are known as optically active compounds. Chiral centers: When a single tetrahedral atom is attached with four…
