Lesson on organic synthesis ( Unit 4 OCR A )Step 1/ Slide 1: Teach (unless told that knowledge is known, tips and pointers still can be given). Step 2/ Slide 2: Worked example (if necessary)....

Ionisation energies decrease going down group 1, firstly since the number of shells in the atom increases so the atomic radius is increased. There are also more electrons between the positively charged nu...

The number of electrons in the halogen atom increases as you move down the group (1st mark achieved here), causing stronger London forces to arise between the molecules of said halogen (2nd mark achieved ...

Benzene is a planar, cyclical, hexagonal molecule, with the molecular formula C₆H₆. It consists of a ring of 6 carbon atoms with alternating single bonds and double bonds. The length...
