Group 2 (the alkaline earth metals) show many different trends. As you go down, the size of the atoms increases. This is due to the fact that each element has an extra full main level of electrons compare...

Electronegativity.
Molecules with atoms which possess an almost full outer shell will always be seeking to draw in the extra electron(s) to fill up their outer shells.Likewise molecules with atoms wh...

As you go along a period, there is an increasing number of protons in the nucleus of each atom meaning that the nucleus has an increasing positive charge.This means that the electrons are puller closer to...

Increasing the pressure shifts equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, so in this reaction the equilibrium will move to the right. Hence, a shift towards the right hand side...

1. Phenol has a lone pair of electrons on the O group which can be delocalised into the benzene Pi system2) This delocalisation increases the electron density in the pi system compared to benzene3) Thi...
