As to properly reference the authors, here is a guide from Lynchburg College on how to write a science report well. A Few General Characteristics of Good Writing in Chemistry 1.  Clear.  This is perhaps the most important characteristic of all writing, but is especially important when detailed, complicated experimental data is discussed.  Be sure

What is resonance? What is resonance (in organic chemistry) in 2022? In one sentence, it is the concept where electrons (bonds) are delocalized over three or more atoms which cannot be depicted with one simple Lewis structure. Resonance is one of those issues that you will have to deal with for both semester I &

Epoxidation of Alkenes Somewhere in one of your exams, you will see at least one question on epoxidation of alkenes. Quick tip: Before you start on alkenes, make sure you are good with alkanes, specifically the naming alkanes. The reaction:  What is epoxidation? An epoxide is a 3-membered ring containing two carbon atoms and one

WARNING: Solvent-Separated Ion Pair concept is somewhat advanced. It can be simply explained by your professor might not require you to have knowledge of it. Only moderate to severe organic chemistry nerds should proceed. Hi everybody, just wanted to give out a quick tip when looking at SN1 reactions.  Many students believe that SN1 reactions

The Alkane Formula Before we can answer the question of what is the alkane formula, we have to ask ourselves what is an alkane. An alkane is a simple hydrocarbon containing carbon and hydrogen single bonded to each other, with a carbon backbone. Any molecule with this structure is going to have the formula CnHn+2,

What is a hydrogen bond? A hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between an electronegative atom (one that has lone pair electrons) and a hydrogen atom bound to an electronegative atom. Because the electronegative atom has lone pair electrons and steals some electron density from other places, it takes on a partial negative charge, symbolized
