Why does ionisation energy increase across a period?

As you go across the period, the nuclear charge (or number of protons increase) but the shielding (or the number of shells) stays the same as all of the elements are on the same period. This causes the nu...

Integrate ln(x) with respect to x.

Here we can use integration by parts. Notice that ln(x) can be written as ln(x)1, so we can integrate 1 and differentiate ln(x).
Then using the formula int(u
v') dx = uv - int(u'v) dx, we...

If y=(a^(Sinx)) where a and k are given constants, find dy/dx in terms of a and x

Here we have to differentiate a constant raised to the power of a variable. To make it easier, let u=sinx and so our function can now be treated as y=a^u. Remembering that A = e^(LnA), a^u = e^(Ln(a^u)). ...

When vaporised, isotopes of an element can be separated in a mass spectrometer. Name the three processes that occur in a mass spectrometer before the vaporised isotopes can be detected. State how each process is achieved. (6 marks)

Once the sample is vaporised, high energy electrons are fired at the sample which knocks off a loosely held electron. (1) This step is known as election impact ionisation. (2) Due to the presence of a cha...

Curve C has equation y=(9+11x)/(3-x-2x^2). Find the area of the curve between the interval (0, 1/2). State your answer in exact terms.

The word "area" should highlight that it is an integration question to the student. The interval asked for is (0,1/2) and so the curve should be integrated between that interval.The first task i...
