For a reaction to be successful two atoms need to collide with a sufficient amount of energy (activation energy). Raising the temperature increases the amount of kinetic energy that the atoms have, which ...

Electronegativity.
Molecules with atoms which possess an almost full outer shell will always be seeking to draw in the extra electron(s) to fill up their outer shells.Likewise molecules with atoms wh...

Diamond has a giant covalent lattice structure. Each carbon atom forms a strong covalent bond with 4 other carbon atoms (forms 4 covalent bonds). As a result this makes d...

Chromatography can be used to determine the RF value of an unknown substance. This RF value when cross-referenced with already known RF values can then be used as a guide to find out a potential range of ...

The chlorine atom is smaller than the iodine atom therefore its 7 outer electrons are closer to the nucleus than the 7 outer electrons in iodine. In turn, this means the positively charged chlorine nucleu...
