The theoretical Born Haber enthalpy assumes a perfect ionic model where the attraction between the ions is purely electrostatic and the ions are purely spherical. The Born Haber lattice enthalpy is the re...

Example of an alkane is C_{​​​​​​}H_​4​​​​ methane

The main difference between alkane and alkene is the saturation of the carbon-carbon bond. In alkane is unsaturated and has a C-...

Although benzene is often drawn with alternating single and double bonds (Kekule structure), this is not representative of what is actually going on. Refer back to the structure of a C=C double bond, whic...

Metals are the largest category of elements and they are characterized by their appearance: usually they possess a silvery shine, they are solid (except for mercury), they are malleable and they conduct e...

Exothermic and Endothermic reactions refer to if the change in Enthalpy of a reaction is negative or positive respectively.
If a reaction is exothermic that means that enthalpy change is nega...
