Diamond has a giant covalent lattice structure. Each carbon atom forms a strong covalent bond with 4 other carbon atoms (forms 4 covalent bonds). As a result this makes d...

Chromatography can be used to determine the RF value of an unknown substance. This RF value when cross-referenced with already known RF values can then be used as a guide to find out a potential range of ...

The chlorine atom is smaller than the iodine atom therefore its 7 outer electrons are closer to the nucleus than the 7 outer electrons in iodine. In turn, this means the positively charged chlorine nucleu...

Each carbon atom forms covalent bonds with three other carbon atoms and one electron from each carbon atom is delocalised.It is these delocalised electrons which allow electricity to be conducted as they ...

As you go along a period, there is an increasing number of protons in the nucleus of each atom meaning that the nucleus has an increasing positive charge.This means that the electrons are puller closer to...
