Suppose I have the four DNA base chemicals - thymine, adenine, cytosine, and guanine. Imagine I turn each of them into a gas, make a "cartridge" of the gas for each chemical, and then have a "pinhole" that is opened or closed by a semiconductor. When the pinhole is open, the gas will, of course, ...
I know that sigma bonds are stronger than pi bonds. What I am confused over is the strengths of the pi and sigma bonds formed between different orbitals.
In class, our sir told us that $p\pi - p\pi$ bonds are weaker than $p\pi-d\pi$ bonds. The reasoning he gave behind this was that since the d o...
Read orthocresol's answer here first: What is the difference between "molecular mass", "average atomic mass" and "molar mass"?
Orthocresol in his answer says that atomic mass is the weighed average mass of the atoms of an element and molecular mass is the mass of a molecule of an element/ compo...
When teaching beginners, usually non-stoichiometric chemical compounds are ignored. The reality is more complex that what they teach undergraduates and high school students. One important point about chemistry is that it is the study of atoms (mostly of the "naturally occurring" 92 elements) and ...
