(drawing of the two) There are three main ways that we can tell the correct structure of benzene consists of a delocalised ring. They are:

• the delocalised structure is more stable that the pr...

To explain this question let us use an example of reacting Bromoethane (CH3CH2Br) with ammonia (NH3). As bromine is more electronegative than carbon (electronegativity being the ability of an element to a...

1. Write down the equation: ZnSO4xH2O --> ZnSO4 + xH2O 2. Calculate the masses: 3.51g --> 1.97g + 1.54g 3. Calculate the number of moles, using the molar mass of water and zinc sulphate: 1.97g = ...

Entropy (S) is a measure of disorder in a system. Any process, in this case a chemical reaction, is said to entropically favoured if the overall disorder in the system increases. This is usually when ther...

Atomic radius increases down a group in the periodic table. This can be explained by a phenomenon called electron shielding. As the number of electron shells is increased down the group, the attraction be...
