As the temperature has increased the particles have more kinetic energy which causes them to move more quickly so there are more collisions per unit time. Also, due to their increased kinetic energy, more...

Ionization energy generally increases across period 3 because the nuclear charge increases but the shielding of the outer electrons remains relatively the same. This means that the electrostatic force of ...

There are four factors to consider. 

1. Tempearture 

2. Surface Area

3. Concenration/ Pressure 

4. Catalyst

These factors all ...

Groups and periods are just ways to divide and categorise elements in the periodic table according to their properties- be it physical or chemical. A period is the horizontal line and all the elements in ...

As branching increases the boiling point decreases because there are fewer points of contact. This also means van der Waals forces are weaker in branch chained isomers and thus less energy is required to ...
