The equation of a metal ion forming a metal hexaaqua ion in aqueous solution is as follows. M n+ + 6H 2 O > [M(H 2 O) 6 )] n + These are acidic because the metal is positively charged , and so attracts el...

In chemistry the mole (mol) is a basic unit to describe a quantity of substance based on the number of particles (atoms or molecules) that it contains. The number of particles in one mole of substance is 6.0...

The electrons/ Pi bonds are delocalised2. It is made up of six Carbons in a ring with two rings of electon density above and below the plane of the ring.3. It has a lower electron density than alkenes with a...

The ionisation energy across a period increases as the effective nuclear charge increases but the shielding stays the same. Effective nuclear charge= the electrostatic 'pull' that an electron 'feels' from a ...

A nucleophile is a species which can donate a lone pair of electrons to an electron deficient species, known as an electrophile. By doing this, a chemical bond is formed.An example of a reaction involving a ...
