Alkali metals are in group 1, so they have only one electron in their outermost shell. They are trying to loose this electron so they can obtain a noble gas configuration. This means that they will react vio...

The Kekulé model of benzene consists of a 6 membered ring with 3 double bonds. This would imply a hydrogenation enthalpy very similar to that of ethene, since double bonds react with hydrogen in a similar st...

The noble gases (group 0) are incredibly inert. Indeed if we are performing reactions that are sensitive to air we will often perform them under an atmosphere of Argon, the third noble gas. But why?We must l...

You draw them as you would a dot and cross diagram for a single bond except with two dots and two crosses in the region where the two circles overlap. These highlight the fact there are two bonds.(Can draw a...

Intermolecular means within , these bonds are within individual molecules, they include colavelt, ionic and metallic bonds.Intramolecular means the interactions are between molecules such as hydrogen bonding...
