Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophilic addition reactions due to the following factors:
1. Aldehydes are less sterically hindered as compared to ketones.
2. Aldehydes are more reactive as compared to ketones due to factors like hyperconjugation.
3. Carbonyl group in an aldehyde is more polar than the carbonyl group of ketones.

1) Preparation of Phenols from Haloarenes
Chlorobenzene is an example of haloarenes. We can obtain chlorobenzene by the monosubstitution of a benzene ring. When chlorobenzene fuses with sodium hydroxide at 623K and 320 atm, we obtain sodium phenoxide. Finally, sodium phenoxide on acidification gives phenols.
2) Preparation of Phenols from Benzene Sulphonic Acid
We can obtain Benzenesulphonic from benzene by reacting it with oleum. Benzenesulphonic acid, thus formed, is treated with molten sodium hydroxide at high temperature. This process leads to the formation of sodium phenoxide. Finally, sodium phenoxide on acidification gives phenols.
3) Preparation of Phenols from Diazonium Salts
When we treat an aromatic primary amine with nitrous (NaNO2 + HCl) acid at 273 – 278 K, we can easily obtain diazonium salts. These diazonium salts are highly reactive in nature. Upon warming with water, these diazonium salts finally hydrolyse to phenols. We can also obtain phenols from diazonium salts by treating it with dilute acids.
4) Preparation of Phenols from Cumene
Cumene is an organic compound that we can obtain by the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with propylene. Upon oxidation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) in presence of air, we obtain cumene hydroperoxide.
Upon further treatment of cumene hydroperoxide with dilute acid, we get the phenols. We also produce acetone as one of the by-products of this reaction in large quantities. Hence, phenols prepared by these methods need purifications.

Nitrogen is inert molecule because in nitrogen there exist a triple bond betwwn the two nitrogen atoms.
This triple bond constituted of one sigma and two pi bonds i.e.
Px - Px overlap to form sigma bond.
Py-Py and Pz - Pz overlaps to form pi bond.
The intermolecular forces in this are weak Van der Walls forces. So, the diatomic molecules exist freely.Because of the triple bond,the bond energy is very high.The bond dissociation energy of nitrogen is 945.4 kJ/mol.Due to this high bond dissociation energy, nitrogen is apparently inactive under normal conditions.This is why nitrogen is unreactive gas.

- Take a unit cell of ccp or fcc lattice divide into eight small cubes with each small cube having atoms at alternate corners.
- Thus, each small cube has 4 atoms that on joining to each other make a regular tetrahedron.
- Thus, there is one tetrahedral void in each small cube and eight tetrahedral voids in total.
- Each of the eight small cubes have one void in one unit cell of ccp
- ccp structure has 4 atoms per unit cell. Thus, the number of tetrahedral voids is twice the number of atoms.

When we have a heart attack, it's because one of the coronary arteries (which provide blood to the heart, has developed a clot that obstructs the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. Aspirin works by interfering with your blood's clotting action and it helps in thinning of blood.
