Entropy is the level of disorder in the universe. The more disordered something is, the higher its entropy. Molecules in solids ae specifically arranged and vibrating, hence the level of disorder is low, ...

Chlorine molecules are smaller than bromine molecules in size, therefore, the van der Waals forces (intermolecular forces) are weaker between Cl2 molecules than compared to Br2 molecules.

To balance redox equations, do the following steps:
-Divide into 2 half equations
-Balance the formula EXCEPT for oxygen and hydrogen
-Balance the number of oxygens by adding water
...

When HBr is dissolved in solution it dissociates in its two major components: H⁺ and Br^-. The acidic environment promotes nucleophilic of the alkenes to the electrophilic protons to ...

There are two ways to affect the boiling point, both of which are to do with London forces found between molecules. Firstly, the chain length. If the chain length increases, the molecules will have a larg...
