Introduction Uses of alloys are very much significant in human life. All substances that exist are formed primarily by elements. As long as the use of metal elements has increased, its alloys become equally useful and the count of alloys is increasing day by day. Meaning of alloy Alloy can be defined as a mixture combined with two or more elements. Elements with distinct materials are used to prepare alloy. It can be composed using a couple of metal substances or by combining a metal with a non-metal. These mixtures are prepared through several steps of melting, pouring, solidification, and ...

Introduction The organic compounds that form a series that consists of the same functional groups but have variations in their $\mathrm{-CH_2}$ group are determined as the homologous series. In this homologous series, various successive compounds can be seen including alcohol, phenol, ether, and so on. The alcohols have more than one functional group that is quite similar to the functional groups of phenols and ether. Alcohol The organic compound in which the atom of hydrogen or the aliphatic carbon gets replaced by the hydroxyl group is referred to as the alcohols. The compound can be identified by its sweet smell. ... Read More

Introduction The Photochemical Reaction is quite different from a dark reaction, as, in a dark reaction, the thermal reaction concerns the ground state of electrons present within the molecule of a chemical compound. The Photochemical Reaction is responsible for playing a crucial role in defining the nature of chemical species. The chemical species include pollutant species present within the atmosphere. However, the Photochemical Reaction takes place due to the solar radiation within the atmosphere. Defining Photochemical Reaction Photochemical Reaction is nothing but a chemical reaction that takes place when triggered by light radiation from a light source. This results ... Read More
