In a disproportionation reaction, the same element is both oxidized and reduced. To check if an element is undergoing a disproportionation reaction, the oxidati...
Read MoreThe word ‘phile’ comes from Greek and means ‘loving’. A nucleophile is therefore ‘nucleus loving’. We know that a nucleus is positively charged as it contains p...
Read Moresotopes are different forms of the same element. They have the same proton (and electron) numbers, but different neutron (and mass) numbers. Since the number of...
Read MoreHydrogen bonding is the strongest form of intermolecular bonding. An intermolecular bond is a bond that exists between two molecules within a physical state of...
Read MoreThe elements of the periodic table are arranged in columns called groups, and rows called periods. Elements in the same group have the same outer electronic con...
Read MoreThe Dehydration/Elimination reactions of Alcohols are catalysed by Sulfuric Acid, initiated by attack of nucleophile so called Nucleophilic Elimination Reaction...
Read MoreThe 1st ionisation energies generally increase, moving across the period 2 of the periodic table, due to the following reasons:
Generally, the ionization energy of elements increases across the period, as nuclear charge increases and it decreases down the group. The first Ionization Ener...
