We would use something called Markovniov's rule. Essentially, the H+ ion (or proton) that is attracted to the electron dense double bond of the alkene, is added to the carbon that has the most Hydrogen at...

Name of reaction: Nucleophilic Addition-Elimination.

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)...
