Organic Chemistry

Molecular models are tools used for classroom or research to visualize better and interpret three-dimensional structures of organic molecules. The toolkit can be made of wood, plastic, metal, or other materials.

These models are digitally represented using computer graphics covered under molecular modelling, a branch of chemistry that uses computational and theoretical methods to model and mimic the molecule's behaviour in chemical and biological environments.

The atoms that form covalent bonds are the nonmetals (p-block elements), and they must have an electronegativity difference lower than 1.7. These values also help to classify the covalent bond into two kinds, polar and nonpolar.

Learning Objective: To learn about the structural feature that stabilizes also destabilizes the carbocation intermediate.

Skill Level - Intermediate

Prerequisites: 

• Inductive effect

Learning Objective: To study the octet rule by G.N. Lewis, considering both ionic and covalent bonding, with examples.

Skill Level – Intermediate

Prerequisites: 

Carbon is naturally inclined to form new bonds, and in this quest, it may break away from the old ones. The atom or group of atoms that leaves the carbon chain to make way for the new bond is called the leaving group(s).

Such a bond dissociation can happen from a saturated, unsaturated, or carbonyl carbon.

Learning Objective: To learn about positional isomerism, a subtype of structural isomerism.
