Learn the basics about the principle of green chemistry that considers reducing derivatives, as a part of environmental chemistry. Functional groups are the sites in a molecule where a reaction occurs. Some molecules may have more than one functional group which may be a problem if you’re carrying out a reaction, but you only want the reaction to occur at one particular functional group. To prevent the other functional groups from reacting, we must “protect” them. To do so, we must add a protecting group, or a derivative. These groups are also called blocking groups. This can be an issue because it costs time and energy to add and remove these protecting groups. Chemists, in an effort to be more environmentally friendly, are developing chemoselective methods and syntheses - this means that the reaction will happen only at a particular functional group.

Learn the basics about the renewable feedstocks principle of green chemistry, as a part of environmental chemistry. Many plastic products are derived from crude oil, which is a non-renewable resource. It takes millions of years for dead carbon-based living organisms to be compressed by layers an
An ecosystem can be defined as a large, highly interconnected area of the planet that is composed of several different biotic and abiotic components. A good example of an ecosystem would be an entire forest or mountain range. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org These videos can be used in a f
