A water molecule is polar. Due to the uneven sharing of electrons in the hydrogen-oxygen covalent bond, the oxygen molecule is slightly negatively charged and the hydrogen atoms are slightly positively ch...

This knowledge may not help you become good at your job in the future, but it is critical knowledge for everyone to have. electrons exist in certain energy levels around the atom. When an atom is hit by a...

Van der Vaal forces are temporarily induced dipole forces. At any given time, the density of electrons in 1 atom will repel the electrons in another closely located atom, creating a dipole. Van der waal f...

Both are a type of intermolecular forces which means they act between more than 1 molecules. Do not confuse them with intramolecular forces acting within 1 molecule. Lond...

To explain this I will use a made up example question: A_2(g) + B_2(g) <-> 2AB Change in enthalpy= Negative remember: according to Le Chatlier's principle, if a system in e...
