What are the maximum number of electrons in each shell?
Feb 20, 2014 · The first shell can carry up to two electrons, the second shell can carry up to eight electrons. The third shell can carry up 18 electrons, but it is more stable by carrying only eight …
organic chemistry - Comparing stability of carbon free radicals ...
Feb 11, 2025 · The following question was asked in a JEE Adv paper a few years back: Arrange the following carbon free radicals in decreasing order of their stability I solved the order of their stability …
Why is OH- so electrically conductive? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Jan 10, 2025 · In high school (or mine, at least), we're taught that H+ ions are very conductive, due to their small molar mass, and by Newton's 2nd Law, higher acceleration, making them more mobile in …
solutions - Why do colligative properties depend only on number of ...
Jan 30, 2019 · It's a lie. Colligative properties do depend on the chemical nature of the solute and solvent - their interaction. The trick is: an ideal solution, in which the solute-solute intermolecular …
Why is this a non-reducing end? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Apr 13, 2023 · I was told that C is a non-reducing end. To my understanding, only anomeric carbon involved in glycosidic bond cannot be in the linear form, and in other words, is a non-reducing end. …
Why isn't water an ionic compound? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Dec 10, 2014 · If two alkali metal atoms join with an oxygen atom, an ionic bond forms. Since hydrogen has the same number of valence electrons as alkali metals, why can't water be ionic? This is what …
How to interpret the geometry of NO2 using VSEPR and orbital ...
Aug 26, 2024 · NO 2 is sp 2 hybridized. The best guidance I can find is that NO2 would be AX 2 E 1/2. Since 1 electron counts as a half an electron pair. When determining hybridization and geometry, …
What does 0.12 N mean on a bottle of sulfuric acid?
Nov 9, 2014 · 0.12N is indeed 0.12 normal. In short, there are 0.12 moles of hydrogen ions per liter. Since this is sulfuric acid, it is 0.06 moles of sulfuric acid per liter. 0.12 moles of hydrogen ions per …
Why does liquid water form when we exhale on a mirror?
Mar 11, 2019 · In the descriptions below, I always assume external pressure to be constant at 1 atm, the condition where daily observations are made. 1) When I exhale on a mirror, liquid water forms on the …
Why don't molecules of ionic compounds exist?
My book says: As single ions of a metal are not associated in the solid with single ions of a non metal, separate units of ionic compounds do not exist. It is, therefore, wrong to talk of a molec...
