Several theories have been developed to explain the behaviour of acids and bases. The most notable theories include the Arrhenius concept, the Brønsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis concept. In the ...

In this video, we explore the fundamental role of electrons in chemical reactions, rooted in quantum physics and the ...

This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...

Chemists want to trick cancer cells into taking up drug molecules by attaching the payloads to fatty acids. These cells grow rapidly compared to normal cells and they recognize fatty acids as ...

When designing a synthetic route, few chemists would usually consider an amino group as a potential leaving group in a substitution reaction. There are two main reasons for this: first, the ability to ...
