Elements react by gaining or losing electrons. Elements wants to reach the stable state of having 8 electrons in the outermost ring, so group 1 elements react by losing an electron, since they have only 1...

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms each share one electron, an example of a molecule that has covalent bonding is methane or CH₄. An ionic bond is where one (or more) atom donates an elec...

This question can be solved using the ideal gas equation, given by: PV=nRT 

Rearranging the ideal gas equation gives an expression for the number of moles as

n=PV/RT 

Subbing the valu...

Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms in space (or structural formula). Stereoisomers (E/Z isomers) have different arangements of bonds ...

Lithium conducts electricity in its solid and molten states. Lithium exhibits metallic bonding and as such its valence electrons are delocalised in the liquid and solid state allowing electricty to be con...
