The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that particles need to collide with for the reaction to occur.

Ionic bonding involves ionic bonds forming between a metal and a non- metal (show where metals and non- metals lie on the periodic table) and electrons are transferred. The structure of this ionic compoun...

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound. With the empirical formula and relative molecular mass, we can determine the actual molecular formula of a comp...

The Earth's atmospheric oxygen increased because plants and algae developed and used carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This led to a decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The origins of the ocea...

Magnesium oxide has a giant 3D lattice structure formed by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged magnesium ions and the negatively charged oxygen ions. These ionic bonds...
