There are three halogenoalkanes with halogens F, Br and I. Each undergo an SN2 reaction. How does the rate of reaction differ between the three halogenoalkanes?

The Iodoalkane will have the fastest rate of reaction. The Bromoalkane will have the second fastest, while the Floroalkane will have the slowest. This is because the atomic radius increases from Florine t...

Why is there a significant difference between the radii of first and second row transition metals, where as no difference (or even a decrease) is observed between the second and third rows?

The answer stems from the lanthanide (or lanthanoid) contraction. In more detail, there is a steady decrease in the radii of atoms from Lanthanum through to Lutetium, despite the associated increase in th...

Why do ionisation energies have a general increase across periods?

Ionisation energy is the energy required for one mole of gaseous atoms to lose one mole of electrons, hence forming one mole of gaseous ions.The ionisation energies for elements increases across the perio...
