(i) Ester functional group RCOOR(ii) The emperical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound therefore C4H8O(iii) The molar mass is C (12 x 8) = 96 H (1 x 18) = 18 O (2 x 16) = 32M...

Metal ions gain electrons to form metal atoms.(Eg Al3+ + 3e- ----> Al)

Sodium chloride forms an ionic bond, between metallic sodium and non-metallic chlorine. An atom of sodium transfers an electron to an atom of chlorine, forming a positive...

Hydrogen fuel cells are really important as they can be used to power electrical cars, so it's something that a lot of scientists are looking into at the moment. We need to balance this equation, so we ne...

Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, IodineIf you write the electronic structure to start, F = 2,7, Cl = 2, 8, 7, Br = 2, 8, 8, 7, I = 2, 8, 8, 8, 7. This shows that they all have 7 outer electrons so we can tell...
