Xenon is further down Group 8 of the Periodic Table than Neon, hence has its outermost electrons in higher energy shells further away from the nucleus. Therefore, there are more full inte...

For a reaction to be feasible at a given temperature, it must happen spontaneously, which means no extra energy needs to be put in for the reaction to occur. To find out whether a reaction is feasible, yo...

By definition, to be a transition metal, is a d block metal, which forms at least one stable ion, with a partially filled 3d shell.
Scandium has one stable ion, Sc³⁺, which posses no 3d o...

The position of equilibrium changes after the temperature increases according to Le Chatelier's principle, which states that if a change is applied to a system in equilibrium, then the position of equilib...

We can take the electrophilic addition of bromine to ethene as an example. The double bond in ethene acts as an area of high electron density causing an induced dipole on the Br₂ molecule, givi...
