Water exhibits hydrogen bonding between neighbouring molecules, where other group 6 hydrides are held together by much weaker (ca. 10 x) Van Der Waal's forces of attraction. Waters hydrogen bondong abilit...

Graphene is a giant covalent compound made purely of carbon atoms. Within graphene each carbon atom is covalently bound to just 3 other carbon atoms. A carbon atom usually makes 4 covalent bonds. This mea...

We’d use filtration. The mixture is poured over filterpaper in a funnel. The solid(residue) is left behind and the filtrate is pure liquid with no solid.

Mass spec is used alongside many analytical techniques, and provides information of the structural formula of a molecule such as proteins. Initially the sample is vapourised and then ionised by bombarding...

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...
