Quantum Theory of Covalent Bond - Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is made by the valence b..

>When a mixture of hydrogen and chlorine is exposed to sunlight, it reacts violently. This reaction is believed to occur by the following mechanism. This is the first step. It is called the initiation step. These chlorine atoms are very reactive and react with hydrogen molecule (step 2). ..

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it is impossible to describe the exact position of an electron at a given moment in terms of position, we can speak of most probable regions where the probability of finding an electron in the space around the nucleus of an atom is high. The electro..

. Transition State explains the rate of reaction in term of formation of a transition state of reacting molecules. The formation of transition state requires energy of activation. Transition state theory connects kinetic rates with thermodynamic properties of reactants and the transition state. The..

The accepted mechanism of substitutional halogenation of aromatic compounds is described below. ..

Schrodinger wave equation, when solved for hydrogen atom gives mathematical Y functions, which describe the allowed energy states in an atom. It is observed that physical meaningful solutions required three constants n, l and m, which are called quantum numbers. Each electron in an atom i..
