some basic definitions

Solubility and Basic Character of Hydroxides - The hydroxides of alkali metals are strongly basic in nature due to their low ionization energy. The basic strength increases down the group due to decrease in ionization energy. The M-OH bond is readily cleaved. The ..

Nitriles are very weak bases. Although protonated nitrile (conjugate acid) is stabilized by resonance, its resonance structure is a vinyl cation, which is not very stable. Despite their feeble basic character, their protonation is important in their acid catalyzed reactions. Due to this ..

The hydroxides of alkali metals are strongly basic in nature due to their low ionization energy. The basic strength increases down the group due to decrease in ionization energy. The M-OH bond is readily cleaved. The basic character of hydroxides of alkaline Earth meta..

A basic buffer contains a weak base (BOH), and its salt with strong acid (BX). The buffer solution thus contains large amounts of the weak base BOH, and the cation B + (coming from the dissociation of the salt BX), in addition to H 3 O + and OH - . The addition of an acid or a base to ..

In amines, there is a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. The tendency of nitrogen to share these electrons with acids is responsible for the basic character of amines. For comparison of the basic character of amines, the equilibrium constant of following reaction is a measure o..

Organic Chemistry - Basic Concepts - Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of compounds of hydrogen and carbon (hydrocarbons) and their derivatives. Hydrocarbons and their derivatives are termed organic compounds. e.g., Methane (CH 4 ), ethyl alcohol (C 2 H ..

Acids undergo neutralization reaction with basic hydroxides to form salt and water. Basic hydroxide + Acid Salt + Water ..
