Ionic bonding occurs between metallic and non-metallic atoms. Electrons are transferred from metal atoms to non-metal atoms. This results in positively charged metal ions and negatively charged non-metal ...

Electricity is conducted by electrons or ions. In order for an ionic compound to conduct electricity, the ions must be able to move freely and carry the charge throughout the solution. A solid ionic compo...

Colour arises due to partially filled d-orbitals. D-orbitals are split into two sub-orbitals with slightly different energies. When an electron in the lower energy d sub-orbital absorbs light, it moves up...

Firstly, we need to write a balanced equation for the oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ . We know that when something is oxidised, it is losing electrons, making the half equation: Fe^2+...
