Xenon is further down Group 8 of the Periodic Table than Neon, hence has its outermost electrons in higher energy shells further away from the nucleus. Therefore, there are more full inte...

For a reaction to be feasible at a given temperature, it must happen spontaneously, which means no extra energy needs to be put in for the reaction to occur. To find out whether a reaction is feasible, yo...

Iodine, because the forces between the iodine molecules are stronger than in the other halogens.

By definition, to be a transition metal, is a d block metal, which forms at least one stable ion, with a partially filled 3d shell.
Scandium has one stable ion, Sc³⁺, which posses no 3d o...

An ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by atoms that have lost or gained electrons whereas a covalent bond is a shared pair ...
