Fe²⁺ has an electron configuration of 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁶. When the ligands of the solution bind to the metal ion the d-orbitals...

Hydrocarbons have Hydrogen-Carbon bonds and carbon-carbon bonds. The formula is H_nC_2n+2This is made clear when diagrams are drawn from different hydrocarbons and you can deduce this ...

Within benzene the electrons within the pi-system are delocalised. This means the electrons are spread across the whole ring and has a lower electron density making it less susceptible to electrophilic at...

Butan-2-ol can be produced as a result of reducing butanone with NaBH4. The hydride ion in NaBH4 is used as a nucleophile which can attack the C on the (C=O )either above or below the plane, depending on ...

1s² 2s² 2p⁶
Na+ has +1 positive charge and therefore it has lost an electron.It loses its one electron in its 3s orbital as that electron is at the highest energy - h...
