Oxidising and Reducing Agents. Oxidising and Reducing Agents. Understanding Oxidation and Reduction. Oxidation is the process where an atom, ion or molecule loses electrons.; Reduction on the other hand, is where an atom, ion or molecule gains electrons.; These two processes always occur together in a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.; Oxidising Agents

Structures and Bonding: Intermolecular Forces Structures and Bonding: Intermolecular Forces. Understanding Intermolecular Forces. Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction that exist between molecules.; These forces are responsible for many physical properties of substances like melting and boiling points, solubilities, and vapour pressures.; The different types of intermolecular forces ...

Covalent bonds are typically stronger than ionic ones, but ionic compounds often have higher melting and boiling points due to the strong forces acting in all directions in their lattice structures. The properties of materials are greatly affected by the type of bonding and structure they possess, influencing factors such as hardness ...

Chemical Changes and Structures: Periodicity. Chemical Changes and Structures: Periodicity. Understanding Periodicity. Periodicity refers to the repeating patterns seen in the chemical and physical properties of elements arranged in the periodic table.; Periodicity arises due to the repeating pattern of outer, or valence, electron configurations of elements.
