Introduction to Oxides of Nitrogen Nitrogen has a position in second period of group V in the modern periodic table. It has molecular formula N2. It has atomic number 7 and atomic weight 14.08 and its electronic configuration of 2,5.
Alkynes Hydrocarbons that have two carbon atoms in a triple bond are called alkynes Naming Alkynes These are hydrocarbons with a general formula CnH2n-2 where n is the number of Carbon atoms in a molecule. The C≡C triple bond as the functional group.A functional group is
Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline of chemistry that studies the structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds, which contain carbon in covalent bonding.
Introduction to Carbon and its Compounds – All living things contain carbon compounds.– These include carbohydrates, proteins, fats among others. Petrol, oil and wood are carbon compounds.– Carbon is incorporated in plants from carbon(IV) oxide during photosynthesis.– Carbon is one
1. Ionic Chemical Bonding – Consider a specific case of ionic bonding between real elements, such as sodium and chlorine.– A sodium atom contains 11 protons and has an electronic arrangement of 2.8.1.– The arrangement differs from the nearest noble gas electronic
Introduction to Chemical Families The physical and chemical properties of elements and their compounds are highly dependent upon the number of electrons that are found in their outermost energy level. When elements are arranged in the periodic table in order
The are there are about 119 known elementsThe following illustration shows the names and symbols of first 20 elements of the periodic table. Atoms are very small particles of an element, but they contain even smaller particles called sub-atomic particles
Introduction to Reactions of Water and Metals Some metals react with water while others do not.The reaction of metals with water depends on the reactivity series.The higher the metal in the reactivity series the more reactive the metal with water
Introduction to Hydrogen (Water and Hydrogen) – Hydrogen does not occur free in nature.– It occurs as water and in petroleum. An experiment is conducted as follows;– Put Zinc granules in a round/flat/conical flask– Add dilute sulphuric acid or Hydrochloric
