If an electron loses a hydrogen atom, the nucleus (H+) results in a size of 1.5 x 10-3 pm, which is very small relative to standard atomic or... View Article
Halogens form sodium halide by fusion with sodium metal in an organic compound. Potassium can, technically, be used in place of sodium. However,... View Article
As hybridised orbitals are lower in energy compared to their separate, unhybridized counterparts, the hybridization of orbitals is also greatly... View Article
Elemental sodium has a low melting point and is a soft reactive metal. Sodium is the most notable of all the alkaline metals from a commercial... View Article
Ammonia is a weak base since there is an electron pair in the nitrogen atom that readily embraces a proton. Often, ammonia acquires hydrogen ions... View Article
There are two primary kinds of chemical bonds that keep together atoms: covalent and electrovalent/ionic bonds. Covalent bonds have atoms which... View Article
A polar covalent bond occurs when electrons are exchanged in a covalent bond by atoms with different electronegativities. Find the molecule... View Article
