Chlorine has fewer shells than iodine - chlorine has 2 and iodine has 4. We know this by referring to the periodic table. This means its outer electrons are closer to the nucleus.Because ...

The breakdown of any product using water is called a hydrolysis reaction.
Ester + Water ---> Alcohol + Carboxylic acid
An ester splits into alcohol and carboxylic acid during its reaction wi...

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)...

The type of bonding in sodium chloride is ionic. This sodium atom loses its outer most electron to complete its outer most shell to form a sodium ion (positive) and donates it to the chlorine atom which a...
