Br2 molecules are larger than Cl2 molecules, so more electrons are present in Br2 molecules. Therefore there are stronger van der waals forces between Br2 molecules than Cl2 molecules, so more energy is n...

Benzene (C₆H₆) is a simple aromatic compound, which consists of a planar hexagonal ring of six carbon atoms, with each carbon being bonded to one hydrogen atom and two other carbon a...

Chlorine has a higher electronegativity, but as it has a large atomic radius the electron density is spread out over a large area. This means that the electron density is too low to form proper hydrogen b...

Heated under reflux with an acid catalyst such as H3PO4 or H2SO4

3-methylpent-1-ene

E-3-methylpent-2-ene

Z-3-methylpent-2-ene

More energy is required to break the metallic bonds in Magnesium, because: -Magnesium ions have a smaller ionic radius than Sodium ions so Magnesium is more closely packed -Mg2+ ions have a greater charge...
