Introduction to Organic Chemistry Organic chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure, reactivity and properties of the diverse group of chemical compounds primarily constructed of carbon. Simply, it can be defined as organic chemistry …
Polar Protic and Aprotic Solvents Polar protic and aprotic solvents are types of solvents. Basically, solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute resulting in a solution and can be classified into polar and non-polar. …
Isoprene Rule In 1887, German Chemist Otto Wallach introduced isoprene rule and mentioned that thermal decomposition of almost all the terpenoids produce isoprene as one of the products, and this led to suggestion that the …

Terpenoids Terpenoids are diverse, widespread and exceedingly numerous class of natural products constructed from five carbon building units (isoprene units). It is synonymously termed as terpenoids, terpenes and isoprenoids. There is no agreement on basic …
Hybridization Hybridization is defined as the intermixing of atomic orbitals of same or nearly same energy to give new hybrid orbitals of equivalent energy. Hybridization is the responsible for the geometry of the molecule. Types …
Electronegativity Electronegativity can be defined as the tendency to attract the bonded electron pair towards itself. When two bonded atoms have same electronegativity, they form covalent bond. If one bonded atom is more electronegativity than …
Geometric Isomerism Geometric isomerism or Cis / Trans isomerism is a form of steroisomerism describing the orientation of functional groups within a molecule. In general, such isomers contain double bonds, which cannot rotate but they …
Structural Isomers Structural isomers determines the attachment or connectivity of their atoms with each other in a given molecular formula. They have different physical and chemical properties. The word isomer is taken from Greek, Iso …
