To understand isomers, requires understanding of the two different chemical formulae: molecular and structural. The molecular formula is the number of each element found in a compound...

This is a topic which I studied extensively in my master`s project. I am including this in my profile because I think it is a very important area of research and hope that it is convi...

BASES AND ALKALIS A base is a substance which will neutralize an acid to yield a salt and water only. Most oxide and hydroxide of metals are bases e.g. Na2O, K2O, MgO, NaOH, KOH e.t....

Many students find this course really challenging.Not only do we have a lot of content, the examiners can give you unusual examples in the guise of applying your knowledge to un...

Physical Trends Down Group 2:1. Atomic radius increases2. First ionisation energy decreases3. Melting point decreases - size of atom/ion increases so delocalised electrons are ...

BasicsIonic bonding is the transfer of electrons between metals and non-metalsMetals GIVE electronsNon-metals ACCEPT electronsMetals lose electrons to obtain a full outer shell (Noble...

Covalent BondingCovalent bonding is a formation of two atoms sharing a pair of electrons. This type of bonding happens in most non-metal elements as well as in compounds formed amon...

Ionic Compound Ionic compounds are comprised of charged particles, known as ions. They have a giant lattice structure along with great electrostatic forces of attraction. An ion is...

Atoms are made up of a nucleus comprising protons and neutrons, encircled by electrons in shells. The number of subatomic particles in an atom can be determined from the atom`s atom...
