Introduction Nuclear reactions, as well as Chemical reactions, are 2 types of reactions that differ significantly in terms of how the components participate in these processes. Chemistry is primarily concerned with reactions involving the exchange & sharing of electrons. But even so, these reactions normally have little effect on the nuclei of elements. However, in the case of a nuclear reaction, the elements involved suffer changes in the subatomic particles in their nuclei. The major difference between nuclear versus chemical processes may thus be easily explained as the behavior of the components participating in the reactions; only orbital electrons ... Read More

Introduction Isotropic and anisotropic are two types of macro-scale classification.Materials are substance that constitutes an object. And they may be living or non-living things. An understanding of the properties of materials is very important. All the materials that surround us are different in many aspects that may be including their hardness, transparency, appearance, properties, etc. They are very important as it is the building block of many important things. proper classification of materials is necessary to understand more about the properties of different materials. The classification is based on many aspects such as appearance, hardness, chemical properties, and macro- scale ... Read More

Introduction Primary bonds and secondary bonds are the two main categories into which bonds can be split. Secondary bonds, as opposed to primary bonds, are what hold molecules together mechanically. Atoms in molecules are held together chemically by primary bonds. The three basic types of bonding are metallic, covalent, and ionic. Examples of secondary bonds include hydrogen, dipole, and dispersion bonds. Primary bonds are more stable than secondary forces and have far higher bond energies. Metallic bonds are formed when various sorts of atoms share various types of electrons in a metal lattice as opposed to covalent connections, which are ... Read More

Introduction Herbicides are sometimes also called weed killers. These substances are widely used to control the undesired plants, widely known as weeds. Most herbicides are used in the form of water sprays using ground equipment. Sometimes spray drift also results in herbicide affecting the neighbouring plants, crops, or fields. Pesticides are substances that are used to control pests. These pesticides are formed to protect plants that’s why it is also called crop protection products and are generally used to protect plants from weeds, insects, or fungi. Pesticides are chemicals or biological agents that usually kill pests, including weeds, insects, plant ... Read More

Difference Between Fat and Cholesterol

Introduction Both fats and cholesterol belong to a group of molecules called lipids or triglycerides. They both come under the category of saturated and trans-fats. These are both stable fats, and such fatty acids, that are difficult to break down during digestion. The stabilization of saturated fats is caused due to the single bond present between atoms of carbon and hydrogen. The stabilization of trans-fats is due to the partial hydrogenation of unsaturated trans- fatty acids, making them saturated, and where extra hydrogen raises its melting point. Only saturated fat serves as a source of energy that to ... Read More

Introduction The phrase 'destructive distillation' refers to the procedure of processing organic materials using specific reagents, restricted quantities of oxygen, solvents, as well as catalysts such as steam or even phenols. Destructive distillation may alternatively be described as the use of pyrolysis techniques. This would be accomplished at extremely high temperatures as well as in relatively inert environments. Coal is frequently exposed to harmful distillation. It is conducted to provide a diverse variety of commercially significant items. Ammonium hydroxide, coke, carbon, coal tar, coal gas, as well as coal oil are examples of economically relevant products. What is Destructive Distillation? ... Read More

Introduction Water is the most fundamental requirement for all living forms on earth to survive. This is realistic to claim that water seems to be the case that Earth has been the only planet capable of supporting life. Water is regarded as the most important as well as a necessary component for the existence of all living forms on Earth. Humans rely heavily on water to meet all their needs. As a result, the analysis of water is critical. Several tests were carried out on it, and often a significant quantity of data has been collected. Water is indeed a ... Read More

Dehydration Synthesis

Introduction Dehydration synthesis describes the formation of larger molecules from the smaller reactant molecules along with the loss of a water molecule. A dehydration reaction is a subpart of a condensation reaction where water is the most common by-product. In the process of Dehydration synthesis, two smaller molecules are joined chemically while removing elements from both the reactant molecules and forming a new covalent bond. Dehydration means the loss of water and synthesis means the formation of a new molecule. In biological systems, dehydration synthesis refers to the formation of biological polymers by the addition of monomers which is again ... Read More

Introduction According to the kinetic theory of gases, gas disperses to fill the space it occupies in a container since it has no intermolecular interactions. To put it another way, the particles in a gas mixture are spaced enough to behave independently of one another and not interact. There are no interactions with other substance particles, hence the pressure of an ideal gas is dictated by its interactions with the vessel rather than those with other substance particles. Without changing the pressure of another gas, a gas will grow to fill the vessel in which it is enclosed. Thus, it ... Read More

Introduction Barium chloride is represented or denoted by $\mathrm{BaCl_{2}}$. It is an inorganic chemical compound with a white salt-like appearance. It is toxic and imparts or releases a yellowish-greenish appearance to a flame. It can easily attract or hold the water molecules either by absorption or adsorption. It is more likely or easily soluble in the water. Due to its toxic nature, it is used in a limited amount in laboratories and industries. It is odourless and colourless in its natural appearance. It is soluble in water and methanol but insoluble in ethanol and ethyl acetate. It is used in ... Read More
