Water molecules have a molecular formula of H2O. The O-H bond in water is a polar bond. This is because there is a big difference in electronegativity between the oxygen and the water. It is known that ox...

For the atom which you want to calculate the charge determine the number of valence electrons a free atom usually has. this is the number of atom on the outer shell so for nitrogen, it has 5 valence atoms...

Bromine water reacts with ethane as it is able to break open the double bond, forming 1,2-dibromoethane. This double bond is not present in ethane, so bromine water does not react with it. This reaction i...

To work out the shape of the SF6 molecule we can use a simple equation which allows us to work out the number of electron pairs. The equation is (old group + electrons donated +/- charge) / 2. If the char...
