Hi, I'm taking AS & A Level Chemistry in Oct/Nov. I'm self teaching as a private candidate. So far, so good except for the practical thing.
Can somebody give me a guideline on the "usual" ezperiments? Like a list of experiments/procedures I should be familiar with. I've been watching videos about titration and identifying ions. Any help would be very much appreciated :)

Which solid contains more than one type of bonding??
A. Copper
B. Diamond
C. Ice
D. Magnesium oxide
Copper contains only metallic bonding between the cations.
Diamond contains extensive convalent bonding between the carbon atoms.
Ice (Solid form of H2O) contains both convalent bonding between the atoms, and hydrogen bonding between the molecules.
Magnesium oxide contains only ionic bonding between its ions.

So the correct option is C.

They just asked us to identify group number, which is clearly 7 because of huge difference between 7th and 8th Ionisation energy.
