How can I predict the shape of complex ions from their formulae?

Complexes are formed through ligand binding (donation of a pair of electrons to the central metal atom), and the shape of the complexes is usually determined by steric factors - or how the ligands ...

What is the trend in the first ionisation energy of the peroid 3 elements from sodium to argon.

The first ionisation energy of an element is the amount of energy required to remove the outermost electron. This increases across the peroid as there is an increase in proton number so higher nuclear cha...

Why is the first ionisation energy lower in barium compared to calcium?

Barium has more electrons shells than calcium, so the nuclear shielding is stronger, and the outmost electrons are further away from the nucleus. This results in a weaker attractive force between the elec...

explain why there is a decrease in first ionisation energy between elements phosphorus and sulfur

The electrons are packed in singly occupied orbitals in the 3p subshell in phosphorus, however in sulfur, the 4th electron is placed into an orbital that already has an electron. Because electrons are neg...
