Properties of Bulk Matter

Xenon

Xenon (Xe) is a chemical element that belongs to Group 18 (noble gases) of the periodic chart. It is a heavy and highly rare gas. It was the first noble gas to be discovered capable of forming chemical compounds. Xenon is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is more than 4.5 times heavier than […]

Water Density

Water’s one density isn’t accidental. The metric unit of mass is water, hence a cubic centimetre (1cm3) of water weighs one gram (1g). Water’s density is readily recalled as 1g/1cm3. However, water’s real density is affected by both atmospheric pressure and temperature. Because the changes in density are so tiny, you may continue to use

Types of Basic Logic Gates

Logic gates are the main building blocks of any digital circuit. They are provided with one or more than one input based on which they provide an output. When the logic requirements of input are satisfied, they provide outputs in 1s and 0s. There are many logical gates; each of them has distinct functions and

Pressure in a Fluid

The pressure arising at a place within a fluid due to its weight is known as the pressure in a fluid. Furthermore, hydraulic systems and variations in the fluid’s velocity might cause amplification of the fluid pressure. Consider the instance of a column with fluid pressure. The pressure in a fluid column rises in lockstep

Pressure and Velocity

Pressure If you tried to hammer a bowling pin into the wall, the only thing that would happen is that people would stop lending you their bowling pins. A nail, on the other hand, would be much more likely to pierce the wall if hammered with the same force. This demonstrates that knowing the quantity

Moseley’s Law

The justification of the earlier empirical and chemical concept of the atomic number using physical rules was Moseley’s outstanding contribution to physics. This came from his 1913 publication, which reported his development of the peculiar x-rays released by atoms. “It is historically significant in quantitatively justifying the nuclear model of the atom, in which all,

Fusion Reaction

Nuclear fusion is the process through which nuclear reactions between light elements form heavier elements (up to and including iron). In cases where the interacting nuclei belong to elements with a low atomic number (such as hydrogen [atomic number equals to 1] or its isotopes which are deuterium and tritium), it releases significant amounts of

Fusion Processes

Meaning of nuclear fusion In the fusion processes, there is bonding or fusing of two light atoms to form a heavier one. The new atom which is created is less in mass than the old atom, and the missing mass is given off as energy. Einstein explained the concept by his famous equation: E =

Deuterium

Hydrogen is remarkable in that it has three isotopes, each of which has been assigned a name. Deuterium is a hydrogen isotope and is one of the elements in the periodic table. A proton and a neutron are found in each atom of this atom. Protium, the most abundant isotope of hydrogen, on the other

Buoyancy

Buoyancy consists of two components: buoyant force and upthrust It is frequently noted that when we are swimming, our bodies feel light, and that when we are drawing water from a well, the bucket feels lighter whether it is partially or completely submerged in the water. The reason for this is that our bodies are
