LSD production requires a strong working knowledge of organic chemistry, a complete laboratory setup (including the ability to sterilize equipment as well as access to a darkroom), and several chemicals that are currently either sales restricted or have their sales closely monitored by the Drug Enfor...
In[4n]annulenes, twisted alkenes, and planar allenes, the equilibrium geometry of the triplet is a transition state on the potential energy surface for the lowest singlet state. Consequently, experimental confirmation of the predicted violations is very difficult. The role of calculations in ...
Manufacturing plastic is very inexpensive, and some plastic goods can be difficult to recycle efficiently. In those cases, the recycling process probably takes more energy. It can also be difficult to weigh all the energy costs along the entire chain of production. Recycling steel certainly uses ...
The Netherlands has become an agricultural giant by showing what the future of farming could look like.
Free Chemistry Courses & Certifications Internship Availability Yes The hands-on work experience gained by biochemistry interns is invaluable and cannot be obtained in a classroom or college. Internships help students to apply the knowledge they gained in different courses to real-world experiences. Int...
“Organic chemists used to say the chemical space is larger than the number of atoms in the universe, and we’ll never be able to access even the remotest, tiniest portion of it. But I think these AI techniques are going to be able to access a huge amount of relevant chemical space,...
Jay: Before taking the course, I had talked to several other students who warned me that organic chemistry was “the hardest class they had ever taken” or that it was “hell”. I saw this as more of a challenge and dove in headfirst from the start. Both organic professors at my scho...
Since becoming a freelancer, Victoria has expanded her focus to explore topics from across the sciences and has also worked with Chemistry Review, Neon Squid Publishing and the Open University, amongst others. She has a DPhil in organic chemistry from the University of Oxford. Read more When ...
Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that specifically deals with the chemistry of organic compounds. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are defined as chemical compounds that contain carbon. However, this definition is not clear cut as there are carbon compounds like diamonds or ...
The use of large amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on crops releases nitrous oxide in great quantities, and it is also a by-product of combustion. Methane is a combustible gas, and it is the main component of natural gas. Methane occurs naturally through the decomposition of organic material and...
