You will probably get a much better answer in the Physics section, because the strong nuclear force is something about which most chemists (and me) don't have much of an...
1 Answers 1 viewsSince 8x3=24 and since 12x3=36 you need to add 6oz of chemical B to have 24oz of chemical A and 36oz of chemical B. Take 1/3 of the total mixture...
1 Answers 1 viewsA chemical bond is typically described as the superposition of 2 electrons, which form a region of HIGH electron density between neighbouring nuclei. Because atomic nuclei are strongly positively charged,...
1 Answers 1 viewsIonic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds due to following reasons - Ionic bonds result from the mutual attraction between oppositely charged ions while a Covalent Bond is a...
1 Answers 1 viewsaccounts for the physical properties of metals: malleability; ductility; electrical and thermal conductivity; lustre. Some metals have more to contribute to the metallic network. The alkali metals...
1 Answers 1 viewsNo, are stronger than because the pair of electrons is localised, on average, closer to the nuclei of the bonded atoms. The covalent bond is an electrostatic attraction between the...
1 Answers 1 viewsFor our earliest exposure to physical chemistry, we are told that the formation of bonds releases energy, whereas the breaking of bonds requires energy. The balance between bond-making and bond-breaking...
1 Answers 1 viewsWe know that $1*mol$ contains $6.022xx10^23$ individual sodium atoms, and has a mass of $22.99*g$. And thus for $1.$ there is a $2*g$ mass of $Na$. For $2.$ there is...
1 Answers 1 viewsBoth network covalent solids, and ionic solids ARE non-molecular, and are therefore expected to have elevated melting points with respect to molecular species. Let's compare the melting points of $NaCl$...
1 Answers 1 viewsIonic compounds are inherently non-molecular. Each cation is electrostatically ATTRACTED to EVERY other anion in the crystal. Of course, each cation is electrostatically REPELLED by EVERY other cation in the...
