Another important alkane source is natural gas, which is mostly methane. There are also significant biological sources of methane that could someday be exploited commercially. For example, methane is produced by the action of...

Introduction Petroleum is essentially a complex mixture of alkane hydrocarbons (from C₁-C40), which are present in it right...
The mature stage of Petroleum generation, which occurs at depths of about 760 to 34,880 metres, includes the full range of hydrocarbons produced within the oil window. Often a significant amount of thermal methane gas is...
The economic potential for the internal-combustion engine lay in need for a light locomotive engine. This could not be provided by the gas engine -including a piped supply of town gas-any more other than the steam engine combined...
Valence bond theory is a theoretical framework for understanding chemical bonding in which the electrons in a molecule are described as being shared between two or more atoms. It is one of the earliest theories of chemical...
Sidgwick, in his theory, used the Lewis concept of the covalent bond between two atoms in a molecule. He introduced a new concept of the coordination bond, also called the dative or semipolar bond. According to him, the ligands...
The metal complexes are named based on certain rules. These rules were recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The names thus given to the complexes are called systematic...
ALFRED WERNER Alfred Werner was a Swiss chemist (1866-1919). Though metal complexes were known to chemists even before his...
The bonding between the metal and the ligands and also the properties of complexes are explained by some theories. EARLY...
A polydentate ligand has more than one donor site, some or all of which may be bonded to the metal. For example, the dithiooxalato ligand can bind either through its two oxygen atoms or two sulphur atoms. The mode of binding is...
