As you move along the period the proton number increases and the electrons are added to the same shell meaning no extra electron shielding occurs. Therefore the nuclear attraction to the outer most elect...
Fluorine has 1 more proton than oxygen and one more electron but the same number of shells so no increased shielding. This means there is more electostatic attraction from the nucleus so increased pull fr...
In the outer shells of atoms, electrons move around uncontrollably and spontaneously, these leads to there being an uneven distribution of electrons in this region. This uneven distribution induces a dipo...
Potassium has 1 electron in its outer shell whilst Sulphur has 6 electrons in its outer shell, this can be deduced from the periodic table as Potassium is in group 1 and Sulphur group 6. When the two reac...
Before we start on exploring the implications of hybridisation, we should start with a definition. Hybridisation can be thought of as the mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals suitable that can ...
