Amines
Amines Amines are the organic compounds derived from ammonia (NH3) by replacing its one or more hydrogen atoms by alkyl or aryl group. For example: Structure of...
Physical & Chemical Properties of ethers:
Physical Properties of ethers: Miscibility: Miscibility of ethers with water resembles those of alcohols of the same molecular mass. This is due to the fact that...
Ethers and Preparation of Ethers
Ethers Ethers are classified as simple or symmetrical, if the alkyl or aryl groups attached to the oxygen atom are the same, and mixed or...
Physical & Chemical properties of Phenols
Physical properties of Phenols Phenols are colourless liquids or crystalline solids but become coloured due to slow oxidation with air.
