A dative covalent bond, or coordinate bond, is a bond where there is 1 pair of shared electrons between two atoms. The difference relative to a covalent bond is that in a dative covalent bond these electr...

Electrons are mobile or move in halogen molecules. Therefore, there can be an uneven distribution of electrons or electron density in halogen molecules (1 mark). This creates a temporary or instantaneous ...

A nucleophilic substitution reaction is when a nucleophile (an electron pair donor) replaces an atom or part of a molecule. In this scenario ammonia (NH₃) is the nucleophile as it contains a lo...

Interestingly, pure water will always be neutral, regardless of pH. To understand why, we have to properly look at what pH means. pH is a measure of the number of free H+ ions in a solution or liquid. The...

Isotopes are a variant of a particular chemical element in the Periodic Table. They have the same atomic number, therefore the same number of protons and electrons. However they have a different number of...
