Why do melting points decrease down group I?

As we go down group I, the ions have larger shells and the distance between the bonding electrons and positive nucleus decreases. This decreases the overall attraction forces between the two in metal lattices.

Where do electrons go in an atom?

Using diagrams, describe the difference between Ionic, Covalent and Metallic Bonding.

Compare and contrast the structures of Diamond and Magnesium in terms of the position and interactions of particles within the substance. Comment on how this is reflected in their properties.

In aqueous solution, sulphuric acid dissociates into ions in 2 stages. The pKa for the first dissociation is -3. Calculate the pH of a 0.025 mol dm-3 solution of sulphuric acid using the pKa value of the 1st dissociation.
