A + B -----> AB In the chemical reaction above, reactant A reacts with reactant B to form product AB. However, it is a common misconception that this reaction only goes in the forward direction (which ...

The pKa is a way of measuring the strength of an acid in water solution. An acid, in this context, is a molecule that releases a proton (H+) when in water. The more readily this molecule releases a proton...

Ionic bonds are an electrostatic attraction between oppositly charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a non-metal (positively charged cation) (group I,II, III on periodic table) and a metal (negative...

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an atom. As the nuclear charge of an atom increases and the size of an atom decreases, the ionization energy increas...

• Across period 2, the nuclear charge increases from Li (3+) to Ne (10+) as protons are added to the nucleus. - The electros are removed from the same main energy level and electrons in the same main ...
