ii. The nucleophile donates a lone pair of electrons to the electrophilic carbon atom in the halogenoalkene. The bromine atom is substituted by the hydroxide ion. The mechanism is accompanied by inversion...

Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, IodineIf you write the electronic structure to start, F = 2,7, Cl = 2, 8, 7, Br = 2, 8, 8, 7, I = 2, 8, 8, 8, 7. This shows that they all have 7 outer electrons so we can tell...

The mutual electrostatic attraction between pairs of oppositely charged ions. Usually the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation where as the non metal atom gains electrons to b...

The first ionisation energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom.
The equation for the first ionisation of Chlorine is: Cl (g) --> Cl+ (g) + e-

A paramagnetic complex is any complex that has at least one unpaired electron.[Fe(H2O)6]2+ is paramagnetic since H2O is a weak field ligand, this means there is a small energy gap between the t2g and eg a...
