Ionic bonding occurs when a metal and non-metal react together. It involves the metal atom losing electrons from its outer shell to become a positive ion (as there are more positive protons in the nucleus...

Atoms are made up of three subatomic particles. These are protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons are POSitivly charged. Neutrons are NEUtral. Electrons are negative (electic shocks are bad). The nucleus...

Chemistry is used daily in many different areas of work; the plastics that we use every day apply organic chemistry as they are synthesised using chemical reactions leading to long chains of carbon, hydro...

This is a displacement reaction as the more reactive halogen (chlorine) will displace the halide ion from the ionic compound (lithium bromide). This will result in the bromide being displaced and forming ...

Key Equation: Q = mcΔT Where: Q = heat transferred (J), m = mass of substance which is heated (g), c = heat capacity of water (J g^-...
