The group IV-A (14) in the periodic table is known as ‘Carbon family’ consist of five elements, namely, Carbon (C), Silicon(Si) Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn) and Lead (Pb). Carbon is the essential constituent of all organic matter, while silicon is an important constituent of inorganic matter. Electronic Configuration of Group IV(14) Elements: Sr.No. Elements Atomic […]
In this article, we shall discuss a very important periodic property called the atomic radius. Atomic Radius: The size of an atom is very small (120 pm). Secondly, since the electron cloud surrounding the atom does not have a sharp boundary, the determination of the atomic size cannot be precise. One practical approach of finding the size of an atom of […]

Science > Chemistry > Organic Chemistry > Halogen Derivatives of Alkanes > Preparation of Alkyl Halides From Alkanes In this article, we shall study methods of preparation of alkyl halides from alkanes. Alkyl halides can be prepared from alkanes by their halogenation. General Reaction: R – H + X– X → R – X + […]
Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Arrhenius Equation In this article, we shall study the factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction and the Arrhenius equation. Factors Affecting the Rate Of Reaction: The Concentration of Reactants: The number of collisions and hence the activated collisions between the reactant molecules increase with the increase […]
Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Collision Theory The occurrence of a bimolecular chemical reaction can be explained on the basis of collision theory. The Collision of Reacting Molecules: Consider a bimolecular general reaction A + B → C In order for a chemical reaction to take place, the molecules of reactants A and […]
Science > Chemistry > Chemical Kinetics > Molecularity of Reaction and Catalysis In this article, we shall study the molecularity of reaction and catalysis. The Concept of Elementary Reactions: Many reactions that follow a simple rate law are actually taking place in series of steps. These reactions are called complex reactions. Each step in a […]
