Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-based compounds, which are crucial for life and present in many everyday materials. Carbon's ability to form stable bonds with elements like hydrogen, oxygen, and ...
are explicitly written in the skeletal structure, except for their carbon atoms. Double bonds are shown by two lines between carbon atoms (C=C), while triple bonds are shown by three lines (C≡C).
This video explains ionic bonding. An ionic compound is made up of charged particles, called ions. It has a giant lattice structure, with strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
Natural compounds from plants and animals have long been used in drug development, but mushrooms remain underexplored despite their rich chemical potential. Now, researchers from Japan have ...
