Space lattice
The regular, periodic arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules at the lattice points of a crystal in a three-dimensional space is called the space lattice or the crystal lattice.
Organic Chemistry
Identify the monochlorination product of isomeric alkane C5H12
Among the isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C5H12, identify the one that on photochemical chlorination yields
i) A single monochloride
ii) Three isomeric monochlorides
iii) Four isomeric monochlorides.
Prerequisite Reading: Structural Isomerism, Types of Hydrogen, Free radical halogenation
Sawhorse Projection
It is a way of visualizing the carbon atoms of an open-chain organic molecule from an oblique angle and projecting that image on a 2-dimensional paper to appear like a carpenter’s sawhorse.
The two adjacent carbons of interest in a chain are drawn as a slant line, and its two groups form the hind and forelegs, with the third forming the head and the tail to resemble a horse from which the name draws an inspiration.
Difference Between Carbocation and Carbanion
Carbocation | Carbanion |

Single Covalent Bond
When two atoms come closer by attraction and overcome their repulsive interactions until they find a balance, at which point, the atoms contribute one valence electron each to form a stable, single covalent bond. So, the single covalent bond is a two-electron bond.
It is also known as the sigma bond and is denoted as a dash (-) between the two atoms.

Nucleophile in Chemistry
Organic chemistry and human beings both pursue betterment and advancement.
Humans engage in welfare activities to improve the well-being of others, tackle inequality, and create strong bonds. The same principle is also observed in organic chemistry.
