Aluminium is higher on the reactivity series than iron. This means that it is more reactive than iron. As a result, it displaces iron from the compound iron oxide in a displacement reaction, creating a...

Isomers are molecules which have the same molceular formula but have a different arrangement of atoms in space. This does not include when molecules have been rotated as their arrangment of atoms is st...

Benzene
With a formula of C₆H₆, the molecule has a cyclic structure due to it's 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring. It is symmetrically planar (flat) with it's 6 h...
