Atoms can be modelled as point positive charges with clouds of electrons around them. When two atoms come together close enough, a region of higher electron density forms between the two atoms. This means...

Mass spectroscopy is a highly sensitive method of analysing samples of elements and determining the isotopes present and their relative amounts. We can break down the method into four major steps: (in ord...

There are two aspects to this question: thermodynamics and kinetics.
It is a fundamental law that the entropy of the universe must increase for a process to be feasible. This implies that the Gibbs ...

There are three steps:
Calculate [CH₃COO^–] using the equation for K_aCalculate the moles of CH₃COO^– using the equation concentration = moles/volu...

There are four main areas we need to consider in answering this question. The first is Sodium, Magnesium and Aluminium. These are all metals and so have a metallic bonding structure. As you go across the ...
