The Wave Particulate Nature of Matter is a very broad topic meaning that it cannot be completely covered in this page rather, we would touch on important or vital areas of that topic. This topic would discuss pieces of evidence to support the existence of three subatomic particles in an atom namely
In this category, we would be writing about topics related to Inorganic Chemistry. In Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry happens to be the broadest and contains easier topics when compared to Organic Chemistry.
This is a continuation of the previous topics Introduction to Redox Reactions and Electrolysis. By definition, an electrochemical(voltaic) cell is a device that uses a spontaneous chemical reaction in an aqueous solution to generate electric current i.e converts chemical energy into electrical energy. When a strip of metal, such as zinc is
In the introduction to Electrolysis , we stated that oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously hence the reason why it is also known as a redox reaction. The word redox comprises two terms reduction and oxidation and these two words have different meanings. An Oxidation-reduction(redox) reaction involves the transfer of electrons from one
Chemical Reactions involve the interaction between electrons and atomic nuclei during which electrons are transferred from one atom to another or shared between atoms. Reactions involving electron transfer are called oxidation-reduction(redox) reactions. Redox reactions involving electron-transfer through a path outside the chemical system are called electrochemical reactions. There are two types of
In physics, you must have learned that Energy is the ability to do work. Energy is not only important in Physics but also important in other Science related disciplines. Various forms of energy include heat, light, sound, electrical, potential, kinetic, mechanical, and nuclear energy. It is also important to recall that energy
The rate of a chemical reaction is a very important topic under Chemical Kinetics which is the study of the rates of reactions. It provides information on how long it takes a reaction to occur; how fast a reaction goes; how the rate can be measured; and the pathways through which the
Solubility is the property of a solute(solid, liquid, or gas) to dissolve in a solvent(solid, liquid, or gas) and form a solution. When a solute dissolves in a solvent, the mixture obtained is a solution, which is homogeneous, and exists in a single phase, i.e. as a gas, liquid, or solid Air,
This is the practical section of Chemistry. This topic is very fundamental for anyone who would love to study Chemistry as a discipline in a tertiary institution. Volumetric analysis involves measuring the volume of solutions of reactants in chemical reactions, however, weighing is involved, if a reactant is a solid. Many types
Water is one of the most fundamental things needed in life by both humans and animals. A large percentage of the earth is made up of water and this goes to show how important it is. There are various sources of water like rain, springs, wells, lakes, seas, and oceans. Natural water
Do you know that the air that you breathe is a mixture of elements in proportion? The earth is completely enveloped in a blanket of air, which is referred to as the atmosphere. The chief natural gaseous constituents of air and their percentage composition by volumes are as follows: Constituent % by
