Electronegativity is a key concept used to describe bonding and can be defined as the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Each element has a unique number of protons, in Hydrogen's ca...

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. The structure of graphite is a honeycomb structure where each carbon is covalently bonded to 3 other carbons. Given that carbon is able to make 4 bonds, there is one free ...

1 mole is just a unit of the amount of particles present in a substance. Here are several definition that all interlink: Mathematically speaking, 1 mole = mass of substance / Molecular Formula Mass. For it t...

Graphite has a giant covalent structure consisting of layers of carbon atoms. Carbon atoms have 4 valence electrons that are available for bonding. In graphite, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 3 oth...

The top number is the total mass number, particles in an atom of an element that have mass are protons and neutrons. So the top number tells us how many protons and neutrons there are in an atom of that elem...
