Reactivity increases as you go down the group Explanation:As you go down the group, the number of electron shells increases, meaning the electron remaining on the outer shell is further away from the nucleus...

A pure metal has a giant metallic structure and its atoms are arranged in layers. When a force is applied, the layers can slide over each other due to its regular arrangement. In iron, the force needed to ma...

Convert an alcohol into a ketone by heating it in reflux apparatus with potassium dichromate/K 2 Cr 2 O 7 and dilute sulfuric acid/H 2 SO 4 (this is an oxidation reaction).Then convert ketone into hydroxynit...

Hydroxynitriles are produced from ketones by a nucleophilic addition reaction. The negatively charged cyanide ion from KCN is attracted to the partially positive carbon on the carbonyl group. This causes one...

Atoms are made up of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and electrons surrounding the nucleus in shells. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, so for an atom to have a neutra...
