In organic chemistry, isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures. There are two main types of isomers: constitutional isomers and stereoisomers. In this essay, we will explore the differences between constitutional isomers and stereoisomers. What are Constitutional Isomers? Constitutional (structural) isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but with a different structure. Constitutional isomers are of three types. Skeletal (chain) Isomers Skeletal isomers have a uniform quantitative, qualitative, and functional composition, but a structurally different chain of molecules. The chains may be straight or differently branched. Typically, skeletal isomers have different physical properties. Positional ... Read More

Bromine and chlorine are two halogens that are frequently used in industrial and household settings. Despite having many similarities, these elements differ in their physical and chemical properties. In this essay, we will explore the differences between bromine and chlorine in detail. What is Bromine? Bromine (Br) is a nonmetal chemical element of VIIA group of the Periodic system, which under normal conditions is a reddish-brown liquid with a highly irritating odor. Bromine is number 35 in the Periodic table and has an atomic mass of 79.904. It is less reactive than chlorine. However, under normal conditions, bromine participates ... Read More

Chemical bonds are the attractive forces that hold atoms together in a molecule or compound. The strength of a chemical bond is determined by the amount of energy required to break the bond. This energy is often measured in terms of bond energy or bond dissociation energy enthalpy. While these two terms may seem similar, there are some key differences between them. What is Bond Energy? Bond energy refers to the amount of energy required to break a specific bond in a molecule or compound. It is the energy required to separate two atoms that are bonded together. Bond energy ...
