Phosphorous (III) Chloride consists of one phosphorous atom covalently linked to 3 individual chlorine atoms. Phosphorous is found in group 5 of the periodic table, hence it has 5 outer shell electrons, i...

Reaction rate is the speed at which a reaction will occur.Increasing the temperature, pressure and concentration will increase the reaction rate.

Rate of reaction is based on collision frequency: chemicals react when molecules come into contact with each other with enough energy to react. If you want to increase the rate of reaction, you need to fi...

Carbon is in group 4 of the periodic table therefore has 4 electrons in its outer shell which are available for bonding. Each carbon atom in graphite forms 3 covalent bonds with another carbon atom within...

This is the weakest intermolecular force. It is formed by the uneven distribution of electrons in a molecule which induces a dipole in the molecule (meaning a delta positive and delta negative charge form...
