| Aug 28, 2016 at 19:49 | comment | added | Karl | "Oxbridge"? I know "Oxford", and i know "Cambridge", but haven't heard of a merger. | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 19:41 | comment | added | Saul McShane | @getafix Also, it's only £9.99. Anyway, thank you very much for your help, getafix. I now fully understand the question and its answer. | |

| Aug 28, 2016 at 19:38 | comment | added | Saul McShane | @Karl It's pretty good. It is a book written by Oxbridge graduates and an Oxford Admissions Tutor about tips on getting into Oxbridge. Because it is short, concise, and has information on every offered course, it does not have the answers to all questions in the book. And, by the way, it is not a collection of exam questions - it is a guide on the entirety of Oxbridge. The only questions in the book are those which have been asked in previous admissions interviews. Although I have the 3rd Edit., the 6th Edit. is being published 01/09/2016. I recommend it, especially due to who its written by. | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 18:51 | comment | added | getafix | @Karl I think it is exactly that; and I'm pretty sure they do charge an ungodly amount of money for that garbage, lol | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 17:07 | comment | added | Karl | "Oxbridge, 3d edition" is some kind of collection of exam questions, without answers, context, anything ? They charge money for that? | |
| Aug 28, 2016 at 17:01 | comment | added | Saul McShane | @Karl A simple grammatical mistake, which I have now corrected - although, I certainly would not say that it is incomprehensible, as the point I was trying to put across was and is obvious. Also, if the book gave an answer, I wouldn't be on here asking for the answer. | |

| Aug 28, 2016 at 2:59 | comment | added | getafix | I am guessing they mean ionic mobilities (first, and only thing that comes to mind right now)? Simple explanation: The size of the cations increases down the group, and group elements form singly ionised cations (have a charge of +1), so the charge density decreases down the group. Extent of solvation is proportional to charge density, and consequently lithium ions would be the most solvated, hence least mobile. Whereas, $\ce{Cs^+}$ would the most mobile. If you want some simple math to support this, I can supply that later. | |
