In general, larger molecules are more polarizable than smaller ones. Water is a strongly polar molecule, but more polarizable are alkanes and... View Article
Anti-Bonding orbitals are the “opposite” of bonding orbitals in essence. When atomic orbitals combine in ways that lead to primarily destructive... View Article
The oxygen atom attracts negatively charged electrons more intensely than hydrogen in water molecules. The molecules of water surround it when an... View Article
The largest quantity of sulfuric acid is used for the manufacture of phosphoric acid, which in turn is used to produce phosphate fertilisers,... View Article
The resistance decreases as the concentration increases and this reduces the potential difference. And with the same amount of current, more... View Article
In contrast with its sulphide and carbonate, it is easier to obtain a metal from its oxide because when we extract metal from its respective ore,... View Article
An alkene is a naturally electron-rich system, so electrophiles rather than nucleophiles would inherently attract them, but nucleophiles will... View Article
Atoms appear to be most stable with a complete outer shell one containing 8 electrons after the first, contributing to what is widely called the... View Article
The orbitals form two bands at that distance, called the valence and conduction bands, with a 5.5 eV band gap between them. Very few electrons... View Article
One volt is characterised as the electrical potential difference between two points of a conducting wire when one watt of power between those... View Article
By exchanging electrons in covalent bonds, carbon and other elements in the centre of the periodic table form bonds. A Lewis structure is shown... View Article
The groups of atoms which are bound to the carbon backbone of organic molecules are functional groups. For the characteristic chemical reactions... View Article
The kind of mixture called a solution is ocean water, since the salt is dissolved in the water. The solvent is water, and the solute is sodium... View Article
The most electrophilic is fluorine, and the lowest is iodine. Fluorination is thus extremely reactive, and iodination for electrophilic aromatic... View Article
Since they are formed by the interaction between sulphur and O2 molecules, these compounds are called sulphur oxides. The key contrast between... View Article
The stability of a colloidal system is defined by the particles which remain suspended at equilibrium in the solution. Stability is hampered by... View Article
