As Sodium is a metal and Chlorine is a non-metal they will undergo an ionic reaction in which Sodium will lose an electron and donate it to the Chlorine atom which will gain an electron. This will create ...

This question is all about using the mols equation question (mols = mass/molecular weight).
It's best to break it down into steps:
1) calculate the molecular masses of the compounds that are in...

metallic compounds conduct electricity as they all share the property of having a 'sea of electrons' which means that they have free floating electrons surrounding the compound. This sea of electrons is ...

(For a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide and interact with each other in some way.The rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the number of collisions between reactant molecules.) ...

this is because ionic compounds have positive and negative ions that are only allowed to move when the compound is liquid or when dissolved in solution. in solid state they are in their fixed position and...
