each carbon / atom forms 3 (covalent) bonds one electron per carbon / atom is delocalised (so) these electrons carry charge through the graphite or (so) these electrons move through the structure

The general trend is that the first ionisation energies increases across the period from Na to Ar. But the first ionisation energy of sulphur is lower than phosphorus because the electronic configuration ...

In solid magnesium particles are held together and cannot move past each other. Particles in solid Magnesium vibrate. In liquid magnesium particles can move past each other, the reason being the particles...

Oxygen has four groups of electrons surrounding it: two sets of lone pairs, and two pairs of electrons that it shares with hydrogens (in these pairs, one electron comes from each of the oxygen and the hyd...

Intro:This is an electrophilic substitution reaction (nitration)Nitric acid and sulphuric acid are used to create the electrophile (NO₂⁺)The electrophile then substitutes itse...
