No I haven't

why is the second electron affinity endothermic? :3
Original post by Shadowfire123
why did you multiply it by 2


Like I said earlier, it's plus or minus 0.5, so 2 numbers (-0.5 and +0.5) (it's given in the question as ±0.5\pm 0.5)


ohh right

It's because the electron is added to an ion which is already negative therefore it must overcome the repulsion.

Because you are adding an electron to an already negative ion, so they will repel each other, you need to supply energy to overcome the repulsive force.
Can covalent bonds have ionic character due to electro negativity difference

It is exothermic because electrons have to lose energy to occupy a lower energy orbital. 2nd electron affinity is always endothermic (positive) because the electron is added to an ion which is already negative therefore it must overcome the repulsion.
whose doing the normal edexcel paper not IAL

I said bring the tube lower and have the tube go directly into the tube.. idk and another point?


Have the test tube angled upwards slightly so the gas can rise through easily?

I still get confuses with ppm 😢

Omg how do you work out percentage error 😢
which way does the arrow point for formation and combustion and also to find enthalpy change

If its like +- 0.4, you do 0.4/the original value lets say like 50cm^3 of water. Then x100 to get the %age error:tongue:

But that's unit 2..

%age error = error/reading (x100)
So if error of 0.5cm^3, and you're measuring 20cm^3 of liquid. You do 0.5/20 (x100)

well no there is a question on this in unit 1
