Introduction Alcohols are vastly used in daily life. It is not only used as an intoxicating beverage, it is also used in different industries. Alcohols are obtained by replacing a hydrogen atom by the hydroxyl functional group(-OH) and attached with saturated hydrocarbons. For example, in methanol $\mathrm{(CH_{3}OH)}$ there is one saturated carbon atom, one hydroxyl group (-OH) and three hydrogen atoms. The types of alcohols are: primary alcohol, secondary alcohol and tertiary alcohol. What are Alcohols? Alcohols are defined as an organic compound which contains at least one hydroxyl group (- OH) and bonded with a carbon chain. Generally, alcohol ... Read More

Introduction Preparation of Alkyl Halides generally has been done using alkenes and halogens. This form of a chemical compound is also known as haloalkanes as they are going to have elements like Bromine and Iodine mixed with them. The first part represents the name of this alkyl group that is combined with the name of the halogen. Chemical Composition The chemical composition of Alkyl Halides involves a decent amount of attributes that include a few important aspects. The derivatives that are extracted from the monohalogens of alkenes are called Alkyl Halides. The formation of this particular atom comes on the ... Read More

Introduction Carbon Disulfide (CS2) is predominantly manufactured in factories because this gas is not found within nature in an abundant quantity to produce several products that include rubber, rayon, and many others. However, it is essential to know whether this element is highly toxic and flammable in nature; therefore, precautionary measures are taken in factories while working. What is Carbon Disulfide? Carbon Disulfide is referred to as a compound of organosulphur that is a colourless liquid. However, this element in organic chemistry is also known as methanedithione. This is a solvent for bromine, phosphorous, iodine, resins and many others. ... Read More

Introduction Prediction direction reaction is a process of predicting the probability of choosing a direction for the chemical reaction is done for a very important reason. The place where this chemical reaction is going determines the effective qualities of the material that comes out as the final result of the reaction. The experts are able to predict the result by conducting a series of mathematical reactions. Chemical reaction The process of a chemical reaction is known as a method that is going to produces some kind of reactant. This is the process where volatile and non-volatile elements are mixed together. ... Read More

Introduction Chloroacetic acid was first prepared by French chemist Felix LeBlanc in 1843. He made it possible in the presence of sunlight, simply by chlorinating Acetic acid. In the year 1857, A German Chemist named Reinhold Hoffmann prepared Chloroacetic acid in the presence of Chlorine and sunlight by refluxing glacial Acetic acid. In the same year, French chemist Charles Adolphe Wurtz made the Chloroacetic acid by hydrolysis of Chloroacetyl Chloride. What is Chloroacetic acid? Chloroacetic acid is a chemical name, which can be defined as an organochlorine compound. It can be represented as the $\mathrm{C_{2}H_{3}O_{2}Cl}$. It is also referred to ... Read More

Introduction Chlorine Trifluoride (ClF3) is highly combustible and explosive. During the time of World War II, the Nazis took an interest in ClF3 to make powerful bombs. However, the production was reduced once they came to know about its volatile and reactive nature. That is the main reason, after the war, it was never used in combat. ClF3 is banned under the Chemical Weapons Convention because of its destructive nature and even its production has a limit up to 30 tons. What is Chlorine Trifluoride? In the 1930s, two scientists Otto Ruff and H. Krug, came up with a liquid ... Read More

Introduction Chlorine gas is a green yellowish gas having the chemical structure Cl2. Cl–Cl is famously known as the element form of chlorine. It consists of a structure that consists of two chlorine atoms connected by a covalent connection. It is seen that both atoms have sp3 orientation. The meaning of this structure refers to that it has a tetrahedral structure.It has a specific chemical structure and formula which will be described below. What is Chlorine gas? Chlorine is a stifling greenish-yellow gas with a foul odor. It can be liquefied around 35°C and is water soluble to a degree. ... Read More
