Isotopes are a variant of a particular chemical element in the Periodic Table. They have the same atomic number, therefore the same number of protons and electrons. However they have a different number of...

This is an example of remembering the basic trends of ionisation energies of different elements across the periodic table and applying this knowledge in detailWe take the Bohr model of the atom where the ...

We can work this out by observing the changes in oxidation state of sulphur in concentrated sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) when this compound reacts with KCl, KBr and KI individually.
