Mg electronic configuration - [Ne] 3s2, 2+ charge - 2 Electrons removed, Mg2+ configuration - [Ne] - 1s2 2s2 2p6 Be is directly above Mg in the periodic table, meaning Be has its valence electrons in the 3s ...

Mettalic bonding involves a giant lattice of ions surrounded by a sea of electrons. A lot of energy is needed to overcome the strong bonds between these positive ions and negative electrons.

Ligands causes d orbitals to split. Electrons get excited to higher energy levels from ground state. Visible light is absorbed to promote electron to a higher energy level and the light that is not absorbed ...

Phenol has the -OH group and the oxygen has a lone pair of electrons which are donated into the Benzene ring and activate the ring which make it more susceptible to attack by electrophiles. This means Phenol...

(This explanation would make use of diagrams on a whiteboard)It is useful to break this down into three steps: 1- the initiation step. Let's take the reaction between Cl 2 and CH 4 . the Cl 2 molecule has a ...
