How is the resulting annulene's ring size regulated? We get trimerisation, but aren't other reactions very possible?
This question originated with my investigation of the synthesis of ...

In a few books and online sources, LiCl is given as an example for "Incomplete Octet of Central Atom" that is, hypovalent. I don't understand why LiCl has covalent properties due to both the ...

I have read the answer to another similar question and they have said that the 'allyl' carbocation formed is actually a 'twisted allyl' carbocation. But why can't this conformer rotate about it's ...

What's the difference between $\alpha$-D-glucose and $\beta$-D-glucose? Are they isomers? Or do they differ in their elemental composition?

If one considers boiling points (in °C) of primary alcohols, one finds the following:
methanol: 65
ethanol: 79
1-propanol: 97
1-butanol: 117
1-pentanol: 138
This trend is due to Van der Waals forces ...

The boiling point of water is $\pu{100^\circ C}$. However, we find that even at room temperature, water can evaporate into gas.
Therefore, water vapor can exist at temperatures of, say, $\pu{50^\circ ...

Part A) Given a barometric pressure of $\pu{764.0 mmHg}$, calculate the pressure of gas sample (a) as indicated by the manometer.
Part B)
Given a barometric pressure of $\pu{764.0 mmHg}$, calculate ...

How to prepare $\mathrm{0.1M}$ $\ce{I_2}$ solution.
I have found in books that it should be prepared in $\ce{KI}$ solution but none of them explains why? Please explain in detail not just the ...

I was working on something in school and came across the question:
Why does the temperature not change much during a phase change?
I'm really not sure why this happens in matter and I couldn't ...
