What is the evidence that disproves the Kekule model for benzene?

The enthalpy change of hydrogenation of benzene was shown to be less exothermic than 3 times that of hexene, therefore meaning that benzene does not contain three double bonds. X-ray imaging showed that b...

Why is benzene more stable than the theoretical model cyclohexa-1,3,5-triene?

In cyclohexa-1,3,5-triene the molecule has 3 single bonds and 3 double bonds where all the electrons are localised. As a result the energy needed to hydrogenate cyclohexa-1,3,5-triene is (3x -120kJ/mol) =...

i)Give the Correct full electronic configuration for the Mg2+ ion, ii) and state why it is easier to form the 2+ state for Mg than Ben

Mg electronic configuration - [Ne] 3s2, 2+ charge - 2 Electrons removed, Mg2+ configuration - [Ne] - 1s2 2s2 2p6
Be is directly above Mg in the periodic table, meaning Be has its valence electrons in...

Why are some complex ions coloured?

Ligands causes d orbitals to split. Electrons get excited to higher energy levels from ground state. Visible light is absorbed to promote electron to a higher energy leve...
