As you go along a period, there is an increasing number of protons in the nucleus of each atom meaning that the nucleus has an increasing positive charge.This means that the electrons are puller closer to...

Increasing the pressure shifts equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, so in this reaction the equilibrium will move to the right. Hence, a shift towards the right hand side...

1. Phenol has a lone pair of electrons on the O group which can be delocalised into the benzene Pi system2) This delocalisation increases the electron density in the pi system compared to benzene3) Thi...

A hydrogen bond requires both a lone pair of electrons on a O, N or F atom and a hydrogen atom. In water there are two lone pairs and two hydrogen atoms, allowing the formation of two hydrogen bonds. In a...

Electronegativity is the power of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond towards itself. As we go down the group, electronegativity decreases because the atomic radii increases. The atomic radii ...
