Atomic Structure

Hybridisation is the property of elements “responsible for creating new structures, bonds, orbitals.” Two or more orbitals of the same atom combine with each other when they have identical energies. However, they can combine even if they are not fully filled orbitals and just have equal energies. As an outcome, entire new orbitals are obtained […]

The group 14 elements in the p block are the elements belonging to the second group of this block. Group 14 is composed of six elements, including carbon. The elements of this group share similar physical and chemical properties. This group is also called the Carbon group; in the following article, we will learn what

Allotropes are the distinguishable forms of an element when it exists in two or more forms. The different forms have similar chemicals but different physical properties. The element carbon has many allotropes. This is because it has an electronic configuration of 2,4 (Atomic number 6). Since carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, it

Atomic orbitals are mathematical functions that describe the wave nature of electrons (or electron pairs) in an atom. They are also known as atomic orbitals. In addition, they provide a method for calculating the probability of finding an electron in a specified region around the nucleus of an element’s nucleus. Chemistry of Orbitals It is

Transition elements (also known as transition metals) are elements with partially filled d orbitals, which are also known as transition metals. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines transition elements as elements with a d subshell that is partially filled with electrons or elements that have the ability to form stable cations

INTRODUCTION There are four kinds of orbitals, marked as s, p, d and f each with a definite shape. From  the four, s and p orbitals are examined due to  these orbitals being the most usual  in  organic chemistry. An s-orbital is spherical with the nucleus at its middle, a p-orbital is dumbbell-shaped and d

Fluorine is a chemical element with the symbol F, which carries the atomic number 9. Also known as the lightest halogen, Fluorine exists at STP as a highly toxic diatomic gas with a pale yellow colour. Being the most electronegative element, Fluorine is extremely reactive, as it reacts with all the elements in the periodic

Actinides belong to the f block elements except for one, Lawrencium, which belongs to the d block. They comprise fifteen features ranging from Actinium (atomic no. 89) to Lawrencium (Atomic no. 103). Actinides are radioactive. They got their name from the first element in the series, known as ‘Actinium’. The symbol An denotes actinide.  Actinides

Carbon occupies a place in the most important element of our daily life, which is not only useful for human life but also very important for maintaining the balance of this nature. Parts of carbon are found in our bodies from coal, we know some special compounds related to carbon as carbon dioxide (CO2) and
