This is a type of reaction mechanism that is seen in case of nucleophillic substitution reactions. It is BIMOLECULAR NUCLEOPHILLIC SUBSTITUTION mechanism. In this kind of mechanism two molecules decide the rate of reaction, so it is BIMOLECULAR mechanism. The whole mechanism proceeds through a single step. That concerted step involves the bond breaking andContinue reading “The SN2 mechanism”

What are the chemical properties of Haloalkanes and Haloarens ?
Reactivity series
It gives us an idea that which element is more reactive , or simply it is very useful in case of the study of displacement reaction. that which metal can displace other metal from the solution. K > Na > Ca >Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Pb > H > Cu >Continue reading “Reactivity series”
Why Alkynes are less reactive than alkenes and alkanes towards electrophilic addition reaction ?
There are two reasons for less reactivity of Alkynes towards electrophillic addition reactions:- Due to greater electronegativity of sp-hybridized carbon atoms of a triple bond than sp2 -hybridized carbon atoms of a double bond, pie-electrons of alkynes are more tightly held by the carbon atoms than pie electrons of alkenes and hence are less easilyContinue reading “Why Alkynes are less reactive than alkenes and alkanes towards electrophilic addition reaction ?”
