Bonds in a molecule BREAK when that molecule is reacted with another molecule. They then MAKE another bond.This bond can be between molecules or can just be part of the new molecule.There are many types o...

A mole is a unit of 'amount of stuff' and is equal to 6.022x10²³. It is such a big number because we use the mole to describe how many atoms we have of something, so instead of saying "I h...

As you move along the period the proton number increases and the electrons are added to the same shell meaning no extra electron shielding occurs. Therefore the nuclear attraction to the outer most elect...

Fluorine has 1 more proton than oxygen and one more electron but the same number of shells so no increased shielding. This means there is more electostatic attraction from the nucleus so increased pull fr...

In the outer shells of atoms, electrons move around uncontrollably and spontaneously, these leads to there being an uneven distribution of electrons in this region. This uneven distribution induces a dipo...
