What are alpha hydrogen how you can identify acidic hydrogen in a compound?

∙ 10y ago
In organic chemistry, alpha hydrogen is attached to the carbon next to the functional group, for example, all the hydrogens on the carbon in CH3OH are alpha-H. We can identify acidic hydrogen by noting all those hydrogens which are either attached to an electronegative atom or any other atom which has a partial positive charge and thus starts pulling the bond electrons.

Are aldehydes acidic?
Owing to the resonance stabilization of the conjugate base, an alpha hydrogen (alpha hydrogen is the hydrogen attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group) in an aldehyde is more acidic than a hydrogen atom in an alkane, with a typical pKa of about 17.
What type of compound and bond is hydrolized by the alpha amylase?
Alpha bonds are hydrolised by alpha amylase. The alpha amylase is the sole form of amylase found in all mammals.
Why benzaldehyde does not undergo aldol condensation?
Only those aldehydes may undergo the aldol condensation which have the alpha hydrogen (hydrogen at carbon adjacent to carbonyl carbon) in benzaldehyde alpha carbon is not present so it can not undergoes the aldol condensation.
What is the mass of a alpha particle given a nuclear equation?
Four times of the hydrogen atom.
Which atom could not possibly emit an alpha particle?
Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (the nucleus of a helium atom). Therefore, Hydrogen is the only element that doesn't contain (and can't emit) an alpha particle.

The nuclear fusion of a helium-3 nucleus and nuclide X releases an alpha particle and a positron Identify nuclide X?
It is Deuterium an isotope of hydrogen.
Why is it impossible for helium or hydrogen to emit an alpha particle?
Because an alpha particle is bigger than a helium or hydrogen atom.
Why doesn't alpha decay occur for hydrogen?
Alpha decay requires two protons and two neutrons. Hydrogen only has one proton.
Hydrogen is to a proton as helium is to?
an alpha particle
Is hydrogen hydrogen helium alpha decay?
No. Hydrogen atoms combining to form helium is nuclear fusion. Alpha decay is a process whereby a large atomic nucleus ejects a helium nucleus.
What is alpha-hydroxy?
Alpha-hydroxy is a chemical compound derived from fruit and milk sugars.
What type of compound and bond is hydrolized by the alpha amylase?
Alpha bonds are hydrolised by alpha amylase. The alpha amylase is the sole form of amylase found in all mammals.
Is it possible for hydrogen nucleus to emit into an alpha particle?

An alpha particle is equivalent to a hydrogen nucleus. True False?
False. An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus.
Why can alpha keratin stretch?
I believe it is because of the alpha helix spiral structure of the molecule and the weak hydrogen bonds that create elasticity.
