First ionisation energies decrease down groups in the Periodic Table:-larger atomic radius-increased nuclear charge is outweighted by increased shielding-reactivity increases down the group as it's easier...

All three molecules have induced dipole-dipole interactions. Propane has a higher boiling point than ethane as propane has a higher molecular mass. This means there are more electrons present and the indu...

a) The fluorine atom is smaller than the chlorine atom, and there is less shielding from other shells of electrons. Thus the bonding pair of electrons are more attracted to the positive nucleus.

b)...

Point 1: Stability constant with CO is greater than with 02.Point 2: Bond with CO is stronger than with 02.Explanation: In haemoglobin a central Fe2+ ion in an octahedral complex compromising four dative ...

"Electronegativity is the power of an atom to attract the electron density in a covalent bond to itself"
In order to understand electronegativity we mu...
