Surface Chemistry

The process by which liquid flows in a straight tube or porous substance is called capillary action.  It doesn’t require the force of gravity, as it frequently works against gravity. Capillary motion, capillarity, and wicking are used to describe capillary action. The liquid is drawn into the tube by intramolecular forces: cohesion and adhesion. The […]

Tin, commonly known as Stannum in Latin, has an atomic number of 50 and belongs to the periodic table’s group 14. Tin has two main oxidation states, +2 and the somewhat more stable +4, and shares chemical similarities with both of its group 14 neighbours, germanium and lead. Tin’s Applications (Sn element) Because of its

Surface tension is the phenomenon that occurs when the surface of a liquid comes into contact with another phase, according to the definition (it can be a liquid as well).  “The tension in a liquid’s surface film is caused by the bulk of the liquid’s attraction to the particles in the surface layer, which seeks

Alum is a mineral chemical compound made up of aluminium, water molecules, other metals and sulphates. Alum is nothing but a hydrated double sulphate aluminium salt. An alum’s universal chemical formula is XAl(SO4)2·12H2O. Alums can occur as minerals such as alunite and leucite. Alum crystals can be found in grocery stores, medical stores, and e-commerce

When an element exists in multiple forms and one of its forms has the same chemical properties but different physical properties, then that form is called the element’s allotrope. Graphite is one of the allotropes of carbon forming a carbon allotrope structure.  Graphite is soft and slippery because of its layered structure in which different

The earth’s crust, according to some geologists, is 90% made up of silicates. Silicates are silicates i.e. SiO4-based materials. The silicate group is the largest, most fascinating, and most complex mineral group, making the elements silicon and oxygen two of the most common elements present on the surface of earth. They are crucial additives to

Gypsum is a precious mineral. It is widely used as a building material, with the majority of it manufactured as plaster to paint walls or create decorative materials in structures. A few gypsum ore resources contain up to 80% gypsum, ideal for plaster production. Raw gypsum may be turned into soil conditioner, cement additives, industrial

Surface chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the nature of the surfaces and physical and chemical reactions between the two phases. A two-phase heterogeneous system in which one phase is the dispersed phase and the other is the dispersion medium, and the size of a particle is between 1-100 nm is a

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink to the smallest possible surface area when they are at rest. Surface tension is what allows items with a higher density than water, such as razor blades and insects (such as water striders), to float on a water surface without even becoming partially buried. Surface

What is Lens Maker’s system? The lens maker’s system is the connection among focal length, refractive index, and the radii of curvature used inside the lenses. The focal length is depending on the radii of the curvature and the refractive index. Manufacturers typically use this system for the producing cause of the lenses with their
