Types of Organic Reactions – Functional Groups Interconversion
Most molecules are at peace with themselves. Bottles of water, or acetone (propanone, Me2C=O), or methyl iodide (iodomethane CH3I) can be stored for years without any change in the chemical composition of the molecules inside. Yet when we add chemical reagents, say, HCl to water, sodium cyanide (NaCN) to acetone, or sodium hydroxide to methyl iodide, chemical reactions […]
Types of Organic Chemistry Formulae [Infographic]
A guide to the different ways Organic Compounds can be represented in chemistry. Types of Organic Chemistry Formulae discussed in this infographic are: Molecular Formula The molecular formula of an organic compound simply shows the number of each type of atom present. It tells you nothing about the bonding within the compound. Empirical Formula The […]

Simple Heterocycles in Organic Chemistry [Infographic]
A Heterocycle in organic chemistry is a ring of connected atoms, where one or more atoms in ring are elements different from carbon. Heterocycles with Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur are the most prevalent; Selenium, Boron, Arsenic and Phosphorus can also be incorporated. In below infographic heterocycles includes: Ethylene Oxide, Tetrahydrofuran, Furan, Tetrahydropyran, 4H-Pyran, 1,4-Dioxane, Ethylene […]
Functional Groups in Organic Chemistry [Infographic]
Functional Groups are groups of atoms in organic molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. In the general formulae below ‘R’ represents a hydrocarbon or hydrogen and ‘X’ represents any halogen atom. Functional groups described in this infographic: Alkane, Alkene, Alkyne, Alcohol, Ether, Epoxide, Haloalkane, Aldehyde, Ketone, Carboxylic Acid, Acid […]

Oximes – A Short Introduction
Introduction Oximes are the chemical compounds belonging to imines class. They are generally classified into aldoxime and ketoxime. Aldoxime have one alkyl group while ketoxime have two alkyl groups as side chains. Another type of oxime is called as amidoxime where carbon as one nitrogen as oxime and one disubstituted nitrogen atom. Victor Meyer, a german […]
