Car petrol is usually some form of alkane, which has the general formula C_nH_2n+2. Let us assume we are using Butane (C₄H₁₀). The desired chemical reaction for t...

How I would explain this to a student:"It is important to first know what the total marks for each answer is. 2 marks means the examiner requires 2 points. The question also states explain in terms o...

An ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions to form an ionic compound. The greater the charge of an ion the stronger the ionic bond as the attraction between the posi...

Reactions can be explained in terms of loss and gain of electrons. Oxidation is Loss of electrons and Reduction is gain of electrons. When electrons are lost oxidation number increases, whereas reduction ...

Unsaturated carbon chains contain one or more C-C double bonds. Due to the C-C double bonds, the chain is kinked which means it is not able to pack regularly which results in a lower melting point.
