A Level H2 Chemistry Tuition and Notes Singapore

Hi all,
 Some heterocyclic organic  compounds containing O, N or S atoms have appeared in 2019 H2 Chemistry Prelim Papers.

 So you may wish to read up on lactones, pyrroles or furans only if you have time.

You may search for "lactones" or "furans" or "pyrrole" in wikipedia.


All the best for your examinations!!

Signing off,
:)

Novel organic chemistry reaction:

Read wikipedia on Diels Alder reaction:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diels%E2%80%93Alder_reaction

Draw the structural formulas of A and B for the following reaction, given that A and B are constitutional isomers.

Question inspired  by Cambridge 2018 exam papers
By reading up on Wikipedia on Aldol reaction mechanism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldol_condensation#Mechanism Draw a possible product D of this reaction:

Hi all,
 There is a new book in Popular bookshops that is written by Mr Eric Kua. The title is "A Level Chemistry - Novel Organic Chemistry Questions".
 Why should you get a copy? It is for those who want to get a pass in your coming Prelims exams and a good grade in A levels Chemistry exams.
 What is it about? The guided questions are on novel Chemistry reactions and their mechanisms. These questions are likely to appear in prelims exams in one form or another. The standard of this book is around university year one / two organic chemistry. The author has provided lots of help and clues in the book.

 I shall heartily recommend this book.

See ya all and all the best!!

1. Aluminium metal is widely used in countries worldwide. Aluminium has low density and strength that makes it ideal for construction of aircraft, lightweight vehicles, and ladders.

(a) [Chemical Bonding] Suggest with reference to the bonding why aluminium has higher melting point than sodium. [2]

(b) [Chemical Bonding] Aluminium compounds also have many uses in industries. Aluminium chloride, often in the form of derivatives, is a common component in antiperspirants, at low concentrations.
Draw the structure that aluminium chloride exists in vapour state. [1]
State the angle of Cl-Al-Cl in the above structure. [1]

(c) [Chemical Bonding] Aluminium chloride has a low melting point of 192.4 °C. Explain this phenomenon with reference to its bonding. [2]

(d) [Chemical Bonding] Draw the Lewis structure of the product when aluminium chloride reacts with nitrogen trifluoride, NF3 in a 1:1 mole ratio.[2]

(e) [Arenes] Friedal-Craft alkylation occurs when benzene reacts with chloroethane to fo…
