    Does hybridisation only occur with Carbon?

    I've been studying how hybridisation works, and in very single example I've come across, there is always Carbon as the atom that undergoes hybridisation. But this can't be right, can it? I mean, Nitrogen can form triple bonds, Oxygen can form double bonds, etc. I'd assume then that Nitrogen...

    Direction of current in Kirchoff's second law

    Hello, I'm going through Kirchoff's second law, and stumbled across this example on this page: In the image above, you can see that the blue arrows (both arrow 1 and arrow 2) indicate the direction that the current goes in. However, I am wondering why the current cannot go as per the red...

    Why is vaporisation rate increased by a decrease in pressure

    Thanks for the help

    Why is vaporisation rate increased by a decrease in pressure

    So, if Saturated Vapor depends on temp, then wouldn't it be right in saying: In a system where the atmospheric pressure (all inert gases, as you mentioned) is high, then a higher temp would be required to increase vapour pressure enough to equal the atmospheric pressure (at which point the...

    Why is vaporisation rate increased by a decrease in pressure

    So how does the system work? Cause I've been googling and all I can find is that above explanation that a reduction in pressure means that the equilibrium is reached faster.

    Why is vaporisation rate increased by a decrease in pressure

    In my textbook, it says that the rate of vaporisation can be increased by (a) increasing the temperature or (b) reducing the pressure. I understand why an increase in temp can lead to more molecules breaking away from the liquid and entering the vapor state. More temp = more energy = more...

    How do the W and Z Gauge Bosons work in the weak nuclear force?

    Hi, Thank you very much for the reply. I've never learned how Feynman diagrams work but after doing some more research, I think I understand the first two interactions. :) I take it that both the first two interactions apply to both W+ and W- bosons? As in the first interaction can also happen...

    How do the W and Z Gauge Bosons work in the weak nuclear force?

    I've seen explanations that when a neutrino with a W+ Boson comes near a neutron, it affects one of the bottom quarks and changes it to a up quark which effectively turns the neutron into a proton. The neutrino then turns into an electron. Source: (2:20 onwards) I've seen other explanations...
