Hydrolysis of disaccharides

Hydrolysis of disaccharides is a chemical reaction that breaks down disaccharides into their constituent monosaccharides through the addition of water. Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together by a glycosidic bond, which can be broken by the addition of water in the presence of an acid or enzyme. For example, the disaccharide sucrose (table…

Orbital overlap and Covalent bond

Orbital overlap is a concept in chemistry that refers to the interaction between two or more atomic orbitals when they come together to form a chemical bond. When atoms bond together, their atomic orbitals can interact in a way that allows them to share electrons and create a stable molecule. Covalent bonding is a type…
