Find the value of x: 2x^2 - 3x - 4 = 1

2x^2 - 3x - 4 = 1
To solve, we should bring all the terms to one side, and equate the equation to 0. To do this, we should subtract 1 from each side.
2x^2 - 3x - 4 - 1 = 1 - 12x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0

Thinking about the periodicity of the period 3 elements, explain the structure of the Sodium and Phosphorus Oxides and the acid-base behaviour of the Oxide solutions.

Electronegativity increases across a period because the atomic radius decreases (i.e. the valence electrons are closer to the nucleus and experience a higher attraction). This is because there are more pr...
