Carbohydrates is one of the six classes of foods and most of our daily meals are made up of them. Carbohydrates are naturally occurring compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in which the ratio of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen is 2:1, as in water molecules. They conform with the general molecular
In this category, we would focus on questions related to organic chemistry. Organic Chemistry is very broad and is the hardest part of physical chemistry but after going through each explanation, you would understand each topic perfectly.
We published an article on introduction to hydrocarbons here and we mentioned some of the common hydrocarbons there. It might interest you to know that alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes are not the only hydrocarbons in organic chemistry and we would mention more of them in this section. Cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds
Petroleum or crude oil occurs naturally as a dark brown viscous liquid with an unpleasant smell. Products of crude oil are being used in our everyday life even without noticing it. Some of the products of crude oil include fuel, petrol, air gas, and vaseline. Crude oil has been formed millions of
In our previous topic on hydrocarbons here, we gave some of the physical properties of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes however, we did not give the chemical reactions of these hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons have both physical and chemical properties and it is also very vital to know the chemical reactions of these compounds we
A hydrocarbon is a compound whose elements consist of only Hydrogen and Carbon. They occur naturally in natural gas, coal, and petroleum(crude oil). Methane is a natural component of natural gas which we would talk more about in this article. Hydrocarbons can be classified into two namely aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. An
