NASA's Curiosity rover has discovered the largest chunk of organic compounds on Mars, hinting at potential life on the Red ...

The general formula of the alkanes is \({C_n}{H_{2n + 2}}\). They are insoluble in water. The names, molecular formula and the structural formula of the first eight alkanes must be learned.

(colorless) (purple) (colorless) (brown ppt.) Reaction of an alkene with aqueous potassium permanganate results in addition of two hydroxyl groups to each side of the double bond to form a glycol. To ...

While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE chemistry students studying crude oil and hydrocarbons separating crude oil and cracking and alkenes. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic ...

A core problem of the field is the conversion of alkanes to any of a variety of more valuable functionalized products. As an example of an energy application, one such problem is the conversion of ...

An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks ... Accordingly, we developed the strong pi-acceptor pincer ...

NASA’s Curiosity Martian rover finds organic-like, long-chain alkanes preserved in the planet’s mudstone Twelve years after ...

We present a one-step, visible light-induced synthesis of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane-ketone, a bioisostere for benzoyl groups that ...

The discovery suggests prebiotic chemistry may have advanced further on Mars than previously observed. The analysis revealed ...
