It is astonishing that despite the very long time research on coal, on the one side, and the more recent but massive research carried out on graphene on the other, there are still many unresolved (or poorly understood) aspects in the heterogeneous oxidation of carbons: : what are the bondin...
(or twist). the chair is the most stable of the three, owing to the staggered arrangement of all its links. torsional strain destabilised the boat and skews conformations because the bonds are not perfectly staggered. the mutual crowding of hydrogen atoms at carbons one and four further ...
If the refinery is breaking H-C bonds in the hydrocarbon chain molecule and producing free C (which you call coke), then the liquids produced have shorter chain molecules (total number of carbons reduced). Fewer H-C bonds mean lower energy. So using catalytic cracker that produces coke remov...
graphite is a highly ordered material with carbon atoms organized in six-unit cells which are interconnected to adjacent cells that when combined form planes. The bonding force for the interlayer carbons is quite strong with the bonding between layers being weak which gives rise to the self-lubric...
All compounds with the same number of carbons are obligatory isomers. Moreover, all sum formula representations are of the from An , with A denoting the moiety corresponding to the formaldehyd unit complex sf-realizations by appending additional rows to A that are linear combinations of the ...
