Sulfur is a group six element, meaning it can form up to six bonds with halogen atoms such as F or Cl. In the instance where only four valence electrons of S are bonded to the halogens, the remaining two ...

In a dynamic equilibrium the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction and there is no overall change in the amount of each product.

The difference in mechanism between tertiary halogenoalkanes and primary halogenoalkanes is caused by the difference in relative stability between the two carbocation intermediates formed. In the case of ...

The electrons are transferred from potassium to sulphur, in this reaction, potassium is being oxidised and sulphur is being reduced. Two potassium atoms each lose one electron forming K+ ions. Sulphur gai...

Lattice dissociation enthalpy is the enthalpy change when one mole of a gaseous ionic lattice dissociates into isolated gaseous ions. The process is endothermic because energy is required to overcome the ...
