Nature and Chemistry Facts

Marie Curie and Lise Meitner were pioneering women chemists, and the only two women to have chemical elements named in their honour. Curium, atomic number 96, was named after the pioneers of radioactive research Marie (1867–1934) and Pierre Curie (1859–1906). Meitnerium, atomic number 109, was named after Lise Meitner (1878–1968), one of the founders of nuclear fission. So its unique to the naming of elements atomic no 96 and 109.

The basicity of alliphatic amines is in the order 2°>1°>3° when methyl group is attached and 2°>3°>1° when larger alkyl group is attached.

There are two different compounds in organic chemistry under the same general name: Pyrene
1. C16H10
2. CCl4
