Alkynes or Acetylene Acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon triple bond are called alkynes or acetylenes. Their general formula is CnH2n-2 where n=2,3,4....etc. Structure of Triple bond Ethyne is the first member of alkynes series. Each carbon atom of ethyne is sp-hybridized and hence has two sp-hybridized orbitals. One sp-hybridized orbital … [Read more...] about Alkynes

Structural Isomerism
Isomerism Two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different chemical and physical properties are called isomers and the phenomenon is known as isomerism. It is of 2 types: 1) Structural isomerism 2) Stereoisomerism 1) Structural Isomerism : Compounds having the same molecular formula but different structures i.e. different arrangement of … [Read more...] about Structural Isomerism
