but hmm... How does it neutralize the acidity of the soil without increasing its Ph >_< ?
I got what you mean but im a bit confused

CaCO3 insoluble in water, no change in pH. Hence pH remains 7

CaO, partially soluble in water, forms Ca(OH)2- a base, so the pH can go above 7 get it?

Carbonate is a salt...so it's pH is neutral
whereas oxide of group 2 metals are alkaline.
Righttt >_<.. thanks vmuch

If you answer questions like using the AS syllabus
for example they ask you why Ammonia is liquid while Nitrogen is gas ..
Cant you say the intermolecular forces in ammonia are hydrogen bonds while nitrogen is VDW?
They said in MS Ammonia has a higher boiling point .. thats true also XD

Questionnn!  ;D
Explain why metals are often used in the form of alloys?

The main reason is since the alloy may (but not always) be stronger.

Iron to stainless steel> does not rust
Alloys are stronger/harder
Can be used in specific proportion to create 'customised' properties :: Alloy of Al(Zn+Mg+cu)-Light weight and strong
Alloy-solder-to lower melting pt.
Brass-easy to shape
Cupro-nickel-Usually cheaper than silver(used as coins)

any more would be appreciated..

@Vin  we don't specifically need to know all the characteristics for alloys.

Yes, absolutely. But our teacher made us learn us all so I know most of them. ;D

How do you show the charges in a diagram showing electronic configuration? I am kind of confused about how to show it  ???
