In order to better understand the concept of isomerism, it is good to begin at the root of the word itself. Isomerism can be broken down from ancient Greek language. In Greek, iso means “same”, while meros translates to “part.” From this, one can deduce that isomerism is a concept associated with similar parts. Essentially, isomerism in chemistry is defined as having two or more molecules containing the same number and kind of atoms, but differing in structure and/or function. Today, one can learn
In this paper I am going to put forth my own theory on the Doctor’s regeneration and answer some of the objections that have been proposed against it. My theory of regeneration includes some simple Organic Chemistry, specifically the theory of Stereoisomerism, which I will try to explain here, so as the Doctor would say Allons-y! In the early 1900’s Organic Chemists were faced with a problem. They found that certain chemicals, with the same molecular formula seemed to have different physical properties
Stereochemistry come to the learning of the relative placement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their use. An essential subdivision of stereochemistry is the learning of chiral molecules. Stereochemistry is also known as 3D chemistry because the prefix "stereo-" means "three-dimensionality”. The learning of stereochemistry centering on stereoisomers and spans the whole range of organic, inorganic, biological, physical and especially supramolecular chemistry. There is some grandness
Preparation of Ethanol and Ethanoic Acid Introduction to report ---------------------- This report contains 5 practical experiments to produce ethanoic acid from ethanol. The first practical is the preparation of ethanol from glucose using yeast during the process of fermentation; this has been demonstrated in class. In this practical the glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by respiratory enzymes from the yeast. The ethanol solution will be between 5-15% and the ethanol
COORDINATION COMPOUNDS: Coordination compounds are those which are electrically neutral and contain complex ions. Complex ions are those compounds in which central metal atom is bonded to ligand by coordinate covalent bond. The complex can be charged so coordination compound is balanced by counter ion. Coordinate covalent bond is the bond in which electron pair is donated by one bonded atom only. The atoms which donate and accept the pair of electron are called donor and acceptor respectively. Ligand
BIOMOLECULES: Biomolecules are tiny part that takes place naturally in living organisms. Biomolecules consist of large particles. It also include small molecules like primary and secondary metabolites and natural goods. Biomolecules consists primarily of carbon and hydrogen with nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, and phosphorus. Biomolecules are very huge molecules of many atoms, that are covalently bound together. Explanation All forms of life are composed only of biomolecules. For example, humans have
