Why Atom B (Oxygen) Isn’t Bent: A Detailed Explanation Atom b (oxygen) isn’t truly bent because it adopts an sp2 hybridization state, leading to a trigonal planar geometry with an...

Why Is an SN1 Reaction Considered a Two-Step Reaction Despite Additional Intermediates and Transition States? An SN1 reaction is considered a two-step reaction because its core mechanism involves the formation...

Understanding Anomers in Simple Terms An anomer is a specific type of diastereomer that differs in configuration at only one carbon atom, called the anomeric carbon. This concept primarily applies...

Final Exam for OChem 2: Any Tips? Success in the OChem 2 final exam depends on understanding reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, and functional group behavior, not just memorization. Focus on core...

What is Solid-Phase Synthesis of Peptides? Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is a method for creating peptides by sequentially attaching amino acids to a solid support resin, allowing efficient and rapid...

Understanding Propanediol: Types, Uses, and Sensitivities Propanediol refers mainly to two types of isomers: 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol. In most contexts, especially cosmetics, “propanediol” typically means the 1,3 isomer. Types of...
