How do non-polar substances dissolve in non-polar solvents?
The electron density distribution in molecules (including nonpolar ones) is not static. Therefor, as a function of time, the electron density is not uniform. Occasionally, randomly, the electron densi …

Solvation effect on cyclohexane
The difference in behavior between the two methods is likely how much "wiggle" the molecule is allowed to have, or how much additional kinetic energy you allow the molecule to have when searching for …

Why is isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) used in rubbing alcohol instead of 'regular' propanol?
Let's compare the two compounds.
Solubility: Both compounds are miscible with water, so there is no difference. With the straight chain, 1-propanol may be slightly more lipophilic, and thus better abl …

Why does the extent of racemisation in an SN1 reaction depend on the solvent used?
Secondary haloalkanes can undergo substitution by both the $S_N 1$ and $S_N 2$ routes. In general these two mechanisms compete with each other. The following diagram is a More-O'Ferrall-Jencks Plot sh …
