Why is O₂ paramagnetic while N₂ is diamagnetic?
Hover to reveal answer →O₂ contains two unpaired electrons in its degenerate π* (antibonding) orbitals. N₂ has all molecular orbitals fully paired.
What happens to Bond Order if we add an electron to N₂?
Hover to reveal answer →Bond Order decreases. The added electron must enter an antibonding (Na) orbital, which subtracts from the bond strength.

Electrochemistry & Applications
Nernst Equation Derivation
The Nernst equation connects the standard cell potential (E°) to the concentration of reactants and products (Q) and temperature, allowing calculation of emf in non-standard states.
Where ΔG is free energy, R is universal gas const., T is temperature, Q is reaction quotient.
Electrical work by cell: ΔG = -nFE (n = moles of electrons, F = Faraday's constant 96485 C/mol).
E = E° - (RT/nF) ln(Q)
At 298K: E = E° - (0.0591/n) log(Q)

Polymer Chemistry
Free Radical Addition Polymerization
Interactive visualization of bond formation via free radicals. This mechanism is key for synthesizing Polyethylene (PE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
The peroxide bond is weak and cleaves homolytically under heat/light, generating two highly reactive free radical species ready to attack monomers.
The free radical attacks the pi (π) bond of the monomer. The unpaired electron is transferred to the end of the new chain, allowing the process to repeat thousands of times.
Two growing macroradical chains collide and couple their unpaired electrons, forming a stable covalent bond and terminating the polymerization process.
