Calculations of Molecular formulae

There are many notations that are used by a chemist to determine and summarize atomic constituents in a symbolic way. These notations include empirical formula, molecular formula, and structural formula. The molecular formula includes the chemical symbols of the different elements along with their numerical values which show their composition in a molecule. Unlike the […]

Brownian Movement

The term Brownian movement stands for the random zig-zag motion of a particle when it’s observed under a high-power ultra-microscope. It’s named after the Scottish Botanist Robert Brown, who explained the resemblance of this movement with pollen grains in water; hence it’s known as the Brownian movement. Later on, Albert Einstein wrote a paper on

Bonding – Color and Magnetic Properties

Introduction  The strength and direction of magnetism in particular elements are referred to as the magnetic moment of the system. This term is related to the magnetic dipole moment of different elements. Being a vector quantity, the magnetic moment comes with direction and magnitude. For instance, an electron with its intrinsic spin property makes the

Atomic and Molecular Masses

Atomic And Molecular Masses Introduction An atom is so small that it cannot be seen or separated. So, determining its real mass by weighing it is impossible. Avogadro’s law, also known as Avogadro’s principle or Avogadro’s hypothesis, is a gas law which states that the total number of atoms/molecules of a gas (i.e. the amount

Atom, Molecule, Element, and Compound

Chemistry is the study of matter and thus the changes it undergoes in everyday activities. In essence,  the center of chemistry involves studying changes around our world. Let us discuss some basic ideas  of atoms, molecules, and therefore the matter they make–elements and compounds. The properties  of elements and compounds are determined by their structures.

Why is the Hybrid Orbital during Hybridization better than their Parent Atoms?

Hybridization is an example of a topic we may learn about by looking at how various atoms interact. Hybridisation will be discussed in depth in the article below, including its types, regulations, ideas, and instances. The process of joining atomic orbitals of various forms with approximately the same energy to generate the same number of

What is Emulsion?

There are various mixtures in Chemistry made by combining different substances having different or similar mediums. An emulsion is an important type of colloid used for various purposes in daily life. A lot of emulsions used are man-made and created to perform specific functions. Furthermore, emulsions are also used in manufacturing processes in industries. Emulsion

What are the Gas Laws?

The gas laws came into force in the 17th century to help researchers determine quantities, amounts, pressures, and temperatures while dealing with gases. There are three main gas laws: Charles’ Law, Boyle’s Law, and Avogadro’s Law (they all collectively become General Gas Equation and Ideal Gas Law). Gas laws The relationship between all the quantities

Van’t Hoff Factor and its Significance

 Van’t Hoff Factor: Definition The Van’t Hoff factor is the ratio of final moles after dissociation or association to the initial moles before dissociation or association  of an electrolyte in a solution. The number of particles is independent of the concentration of the solution, and it is the property of the solute. The Van’t Hoff

Van der Waals Equation

In the year 1873 Johannes Diderik van der Waals derived the Van der Waals equation. This equation is actually a revised version of ideal gas law. According to ideal gas law, the gases consist of point masses that undergo perfectly elastic collision. This law was not able to clearly explain the behaviour of real gases.
