a) Bromoethane  

b) Electrophilic addition

c) (Drawing of the mechanism)

a) Cs, Na, K The ionisation energy increases when going from bottom to top within a group due to electron shielding. b) Be, N, F The ionisation energy increases when going from left to right within a peri...

The first ionisation energy of an element is the energy required in order to remove the outermost electron from the element to make it an ion with the charge +1. From magnesium to aluminium the values sho...

mg2+ would be the smaller ion this is because each ion has the same number of electrons however mg2+ has a greater number of protons and therefore is more charge dense and the outer electrons feel a great...

The collision theory states that when two or more particles have sufficient energy and orientation, the collision will be successful in producing a reaction. There are many ways to increase the rate of a ...
