Rate-determining Step
The path that reactants follow to form the products in a chemical reaction is known as the mechanism of the reaction. It is the slowest [...]
Bond Energy
Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break all bonds of a particular type in one mole of the given substance. [...]
Mass Spectrometry
Mass spectrometry is one of the analytical techniques for characterizing matter, based on the determination of atomic or molecular masses of individual species present in [...]
Coordination Isomerism
Isomerism is the existence of multiple chemical compounds with the same chemical composition but different structures and properties. This phenomenon is not limited to organic [...]
Naming Coordination Compounds
Coordination compounds are made of central metal atom/ion(s), surrounded by a specified number of ligands. The ligands can be atoms, ions, or molecules and are [...]
Coordination Number
Coordination number, or ligancy, refers to the number of atoms, molecules, or ions (ligands) bonded to the central atom or ion through coordinate/dative covalent bond. [...]
Solubility Product (Ksp) – Definition, Applications
Ksp is defined as the product of the equilibrium concentration of ions, each raised to a power that is its coefficient in the balanced chemical [...]
Point Groups: Symmetry Classification of Molecules and Examples
Each molecule has a set of symmetry operations that define the molecule’s overall symmetry. These sets of symmetry operations are known as point groups. To [...]
Debye Forces
Debye force, named after the Dutch-American chemist, Peter J. W. Debye, is the intermolecular force of attraction that exists between a permanent dipole and another [...]
VSEPR Theory
The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory is used to predict the shapes/geometries of molecules, based on the number of valence electron pairs around [...]
