Chemical decomposition can be defined as the separation of chemical compounds into smaller‚ simpler compounds (New World Encyclopedia‚ 2009). It is often considered an undesirable outcome of a chemical reaction. Radiation‚ humidity‚ heat‚ and acidity affect the stability of chemical compounds. Molecules‚ when put under harsh environmental conditions may break up into smaller particles. Decomposition can also be defined as the breakdown of one phase into two or more phases. Thermal‚ electrolytic‚

To measure conductivity we needed to understand the dissociation of ionic bonds. When two oppositely charged atoms bond together there is a transfer of an electron(s) from a cation to the anion. This occurs because the cation is willing to give up an electron to obtain 8 electrons in their valence shell where as the anion is accepting the electron to fulfill its valence shell. When compounds containing ionic bonds are dissolved in water‚ the ions dissociate from one another. This dissociation causes

Purpose: To observe the reactions of specific aqueous solutions with specific aqueous reagents. Introduction: A solution is as a homogeneous mixture containing two or more substances. Reagents are added to solutions to create a chemical reaction or added to see if anything occurs. Reagents can be added to solutions to see if there is a presence of other substances. For example‚ iodine added to a lead solution. Iodine would be the reagent and would cause a chemical reaction confirming the presence

monatomic or polyatomic ion. When the name of the anion ends in ide‚ the acid name begins with the prefix hydro-. The stem of the anion has the suffix ic and is followed by the word acid. Therefore‚ HCL is named hydrochloric acid. When the anion name ends in ite‚ the acid name is the stem of the anion with the suffix ous‚ followed by the word acid. Thus H2SO3 is named sulfurous acid. When the anion name ends in ate‚ the acid name is the stem of the anion with the suffix ic‚ followed by the word

Once upon a time‚ a workman at a dye factory fell into a vat containing a hot concentrated mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids‚ and he dissolved! Because nobody witnessed the accident‚ it was necessary to prove that he fell in so that the man’s wife could collect his insurance

intermolecular force is weak. ii. They are non conductors of electricity because they do not contain ions. [Q*]. Carbon cannot form carbon cation [C4+] carbon anion [C4-]. Give reason. [ANS]. They cannot form carbon cation because large amount of energy is required to remove four electrons by leaving six protons. Also‚ they can’t form carbon anion because six protons cannot hold ten electrons. Versatile Nature of Carbon * Carbon exhibits a property called catenation. The ability
