Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

The IUPAC naming system provides a logical and systematic approach to naming organic compounds. For branched alkanes, the ...

Alkane molecules are held together in the crystal state by purportedly weak homonuclear R–H···H–R dihydrogen interactions. In an apparent contradiction, the high melting points and vaporization ...

There are claims of synthesis of a room temperature superconductor. However, these claims have not been officially accepted by scientific communities. Currently, the highest transition temperature (Tc ...

(Nanowerk News) The role of surface modification of nanoparticle catalysts in alkyne hydrogenation reactions was systematically investigated by the Center for Nanoscale Materials' NanoBio Interfaces ...

The longest unbranched chain containing the functional group is the parent molecule, or simply the longest unbranched chain for alkanes. Remember that, the longest chain can go round a bend. Indicate ...

Compare the first number in each set. If they are different, the numbering scheme with the lower number is correct. For ...

Complete combustion of alkenes produces carbon dioxide and water, provided there is a plentiful supply of oxygen. Incomplete combustion of alkenes occurs where oxygen is limited and produces water, ...
