This process is called hydrogen bonding, and it is responsible for many of the unique properties of water. For example, hydrogen bonding between water molecules causes them to form a network that can absorb large amounts of heat. This makes water a good solvent for many ionic and polar molecules.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-149166 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/reaction-due-to-alpha-hydrogen-aldol-and-cross-aldol-condensation.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"606\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/reaction-due-to-alpha-hydrogen-aldol-and-cross-aldol-condensation.jpg?v=1647837219 606w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/reaction-due-to-alpha-hydrogen-aldol-and-cross-aldol-condensation-300x212.jpg?v=1647837219 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Alpha_Hydrogen\"><\/span>What is Alpha Hydrogen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alpha hydrogen is a type of hydrogen atom that has an extra electron. It is unstable and reactive, and is often found in organic molecules.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alpha_Hydrogen_Atom\"><\/span>Alpha Hydrogen Atom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An alpha hydrogen atom is a hydrogen atom with an alpha particle (Helium nucleus) orbiting around it. The alpha particle is positively charged and the hydrogen atom is negatively charged, so the two particles are held together by the electric force.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Aldehydes_and_Ketones\"><\/span>About Aldehydes and Ketones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aldehydes and ketones are two types of organic compounds. Aldehydes have the carbonyl group -C=O- and ketones have the carbonyl group -C=O-. The carbonyl group is a double bond between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Tautomerism\"><\/span>About Tautomerism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tautomerism is the interchange of the positions of hydrogen atoms in a molecule. This can cause different compounds to be formed that have the same molecular formula but different structures.<\/p>\n<p>An alpha hydrogen is a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron. This leaves the atom with a positive charge. When an alpha hydrogen comes in contact with another atom, a reaction can occur. In this reaction, the alpha hydrogen transfers its positive charge to the other atom. This can cause the other atom to become unstable and react with other atoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>reaction-due-to-alpha-hydrogen When an alpha hydrogen is present, it can react with a neighboring molecule to form a covalent bond.
