Why does the ionisation energy of period 2 elements increase along the period, but drop for boron and oxygen?

There are three properties to consider when looking at ionisation energy:Atomic chargeAtomic radiusElectron shieldingGoing along a period, the atomic charge increases as there are more protons in the nucleus...

State and explain how the attraction between nuclei and outermost electrons varies across group 3 (2 marks)

Attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons increases across a group because the proton number increases and the atomic radius decreases due to increased nuclear charge.Across a group shielding re...

Write an equation for the incomplete combustion of dodecane to produce gaseous products only.

C10H22 (l) + 11.5O2 (g) --> 10CO(g) + 11H20 (g)Incomplete combustion so the products are CO and H2O, remember to include state symbols as the question asks for gaseous products.

Pure water has a boiling point of 100 °C and a freezing point of 0 °C. What is the boiling point and freezing point of a sample of aqueous sodium chloride?

boiling point 102°C freezing point –2°C We shall now look at the molecular origin of the lowering of the freezing point and elevation of the boiling point. First of all, we know that the entropy of a gas is ...
