First ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms, to produce one mole of gaseous ions each with a (+1) charge.

Barium has more energy le...

Atoms are made up of three subatomic particles. These are protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons are POSitivly charged. Neutrons are NEUtral. Electrons are negative (electic shocks are bad). The nucleus...

You will need an underlying knowledge of the structure of benzene to answer this question. Benzene (C6H6) is formed from 6 carbon atoms arranged in a ring. [draw benzene] Each carbon atom has 4 bonding el...

Unfortunately, every year in school you are told that something from the previous year was not completely true, and had in fact been simplified...one of the major examples of this is orbitals. While the e...
