Is the transformation of pi bonds to sigma bonds always energetically favorable? 0 Why is pi bond in N=N stronger than sigma bond? 2 Bond dissociation energy order for C−C, N−N, O−O and F−F single bonds 2 Why is the imine (C=N) bond so weak? ...
Why is energy released in the formation of expertical bonds? Why are saturated hydrocarbons generally less reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons? Why are carbon atoms important in organic molecules? How do volatile organic compounds affect air quality? Why is sigma bond stronger than pi bond? Wh...
Re: Why are esters less reactive than ketones? « Reply #1 on: April 28, 2012, 11:39:59 AM » Think about it: What makes a carbonyl group reactive?It's the delta positive charge on the carbon which is bonded to the double bond oxygen. The carbon is electrophilic.When you have...
