There is fizzing, because the reaction of any alkali metal with water will produce hydrogen, this gas escapes as fizzing The metal will become smaller and dissapear, because as the reaction continues, the...

Many organic molecules follow specific formulas to help identify them. For Alkanes this is: C_nH_2n+2 (n being the total number of carbon atoms). However, this is not the case with the...

Alkenes have stereoisomers because no free rotation possible around the C=C double bond, as to do so would break the pi-bond between the two atoms. which requires energy to break.

Crude oil has lots of molecules with different numbers of carbon atoms in them. A fractional distillation column is used to separate the molecules. It is hottest at the bottom and coolest at the top. Bitu...

Group 1 metals all have one electron in their outer shell. When they react they form positive metal ions by losing this electron. Since there is only one electron to lose, group 1 metals are all extrememe...
