  2. Why is a C4 ring impossible? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Mar 20, 2023 · Ring strain and principles of aromaticity render such a molecule unstable. Each double bond contributes 2 π electrons, and with four double bonds in one cycle in common, there is a total …

  3. Why is OH- so electrically conductive? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Jan 10, 2025 · In high school (or mine, at least), we're taught that H+ ions are very conductive, due to their small molar mass, and by Newton's 2nd Law, higher acceleration, making them more mobile in …

  4. Oxidation states of oxygen - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Oct 15, 2016 · The concept of oxidation state simply works on concept of electronegativity.The more electronegative atom acquire a negative charge while less electronegative atom acquire a positive …

  5. redox - Half equations for H2O2 for its reducing and oxidising nature ...

    May 1, 2014 · Is there a complete list of all the half equations for $\\ce{H2O2}$ - both oxidation and reduction, in acidic and alkaline conditions? I've looked on the internet but can't seem to find a list …
