That Time the US Government Poisoned Alcohol
The alcohol we drink is just one particular kind of alcohol: ethanol. The others can be a lot more dangerous, and in the 1920s, the US government made a really dangerous cocktail.

Substitution Reactions - SN1 and SN2 Mechanisms - Crash Course Organic Chemistry
We’ve already learned a bit about substitution reactions in organic chemistry and the two different paths they can follow: SN1 and SN2. In order to better predict the products of a substitution reaction and understand how they work, we...

Neutralization Reaction
In a neutralization reaction (or acid-base reaction) a proton is transferred from the Brinsted--Lowry acid to the Brinsted--Lowry base. Water is amphoteric and so it can serve as either an acid or a base in a neutralization reaction. The...

Acid Strength and the Inductive Effect: What’s the Connection?
The strength of an acid is often influenced by the inductive effect. Electron-withdrawing groups attached to an acid molecule can stabilize the negative charge on the conjugate base, increasing acid strength. Conversely,...

Inductive Effect Consequences: How Molecules React!
The inductive effect can drastically alter how molecules behave in reactions. Electron-withdrawing groups can increase a molecule’s electrophilicity, making it more likely to accept electrons in a reaction. Conversely, electron-donating...
