Physical, organic and inorganic doubts, answered by students.
Last year this was a one-mark question in my test that I got wrong, so it is going to be fixed this year, properly. In the electrochemical series, lithium has the most negative standard reduction potential, about -3.05 V
I'm building a one-page "directing groups" template for my plan, and two entries refuse to fit the neat pattern. The pattern as I understand it: activating groups like –OH, –NH2, –OCH3, –CH3, –R are ortho/para directing;
Late night again, sorry if the formatting is bad.
Third attempt, and I still catch myself writing the wrong symbol in thermodynamics. Time to fix it at root. NCERT says that at equilibrium \Delta G = 0 . It also gives \Delta G^\circ = -RT\ln K . If \Delta G is zero at e
It's 3 am again and the anxiety is doing its thing, so I'm doing chemistry instead of staring at the ceiling. Group 13 data from NCERT. First ionisation enthalpy kJ/mol : B 801, Al 577, Ga 579, In 558, Tl 589. I expected
Third attempt, so I'm rebuilding organic from zero with a pencil and a very old notebook. Nomenclature is the part I thought I knew and it turns out I don't. Two structures from a practice sheet: A: CH 2=CH-CH CH 3 -CH 2
Amma says I study best at 5 am with filter coffee, so here I am with thermodynamics, and the very first page of it is eating me. NCERT says internal energy U is a state function while heat q and work w are not. I can rep
Third attempt, so I'm going back to the first chapter. When you've read the same line three times it stops being text and becomes wallpaper, so this time I want to rebuild each experiment instead of memorising. What I re
Cheap tricks for exam are my thing but this topic has no trick, and I want to actually understand it because it keeps showing up. NCERT explains rusting as a tiny electrochemical cell on the surface of iron. A spot on th
