Introduction - Alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are compounds with functional groups containing oxygen. An alcohol contains one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups(s) attached to aliphatic carbon atom(s). For e.g., ethyl alcohol formula CH 3 , CH 2 , OH is an alcohol. A p..

Functional groups containing nitrogen are present in a variety of naturally occurring and man made organic compounds. These functional groups impart physico- chemical characteristics to these molecules. These groups are responsible for their unique chemical reactivity patterns and p..

Green Chemistry - Simply stated, Green chemistry is the use of chemistry for preventing environment pollution in order to protect human health. It may give the impression that it is branch of chemistry involving plants, which is not true. Green chemistry..

Lipids are organic substances present in all living organisms. They include fats, oils, waxes and other related compounds. They are insoluble in water and hydrophobic, and soluble in organic solvents. They are related to fatty acids and are not polymers. They..

Soil Erosion occurs when the weathered soil particles are dislodged and carried away by wind or water. Deforestation, agricultural development, temperature extremes, precipitation including acid rain, and human activities contribute to this erosion. Humans speed up this process by constr..

Chemotherapy is the use of chemicals or drugs to selectively destroy infectious micro-organisms without destroying the live tissues or the host. Paul Ehrlich called drugs as magic bullets and the first milestone of his research was the discovery of Salvarsan for curing syphilis, in ..
