Accounting for electrons. The images in this slideshow here show how we can account for the way in which electrons are shared between atoms. Use the first of the three buttons to the top left of the animation to see the outer electron configuration of each atom. Construct a table to show the name of the molecule, formula, no.of bond...
The trends in first ionisation energies give some important clues about the electron configuration of the elements. What's the trend? First ionisation energies for the first 18 elementsInfogram Periodic patterns General trends: Across a period As the nuclear charge increases so the attraction between the outermost electrons and th...
This animation allows you to see the electron arrangements which explain the formation of some double and triple bonds. Bond lengths and bond energy Here you can examine the effect that multiple bonds have upon the length of the bond. Use the top of the three buttons ( C-C ) to select the data for a carbon - ca...
