Bromine is molecular, existing as Br2 molecules, wheras magnesium is metallic and therefore exists in a large macromolecular structure. In bromine there are strong INTERmolecular covalent bonds, but only ...

Chloride ions have a greater charge density than bromide ions due to their smaller size, and therefore attracts the delta positive H in the water molecule more strongly. This would be approximately a 3 ma...

LeChaterlier's principle states: 'If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change'. In short, this helps us to work out HOW cha...

First, let's have a look at all the clues in the name. Aromatic - this type of reaction is characteristic for aromatic compounds because it involves the aromatic ring. It is the only type of electrophilic...

As we move across the period electrons occupy the same outer electron shell, having roughly the same distance to the nucleus. Moving across the period nuclear charge increases as the number of protons in ...
