Elasticity

In material science and engineering, we always try to know more about the behaviour of a rigid body when it goes through stretching, twisting and squeezing. We make an effort to understand the behaviour of rigid bodies by establishing a relation between applied force and deformation. So, to understand the mechanical properties of a substance, […]

The arrangement of molecules in gases is not very close, that is, they are widely apart and loosely packed. In liquids, the molecular arrangement is moderate, meaning that the molecules are a bit apart. When it comes to solids, the molecules are so closely packed or structured that electrons (subatomic particles with a negative electric

Diborane also known by the name of boron ethane, boron hydride, and diboron hexahydride is chemically represented as B2H6. Diborane is the main member of the family of boron compounds. The molar mass of diborane is 27.66 grams/moles, which is the sum of all constituent elements present in diborane (B2H6). Bonding in diborane As the

Carbon can be found naturally in two crystalline forms: graphite and diamond. Both are chemically similar but quite different in physical properties and crystal structure. Graphite is a crystalline and soft form of carbon. It is a distinct substance that possesses both metal and non-metal qualities.  Graphite is named from the Greek word ‘graphein’, which

Introduction to Stress-Strain Relationship When it comes to physics, the phrases Stress and strain describe the forces that cause things to deform or break. Deformation is defined as the alteration of the shape of an item as a result of the application of force. Materials feel it as a result of external forces acting on

What stream to choose after 10th? Elasticity:  Elasticity is defined as the ability of a deformed body to go back to its authentic form when the forces inflicting the deformation are removed. A body with this potential is stated to behave elastically and is called an elastic body. For example – Quartz fibre. Plasticity: When

Radioactive Decay The behaviour projected by atomic nuclei as a result of nuclear instability is referred to as radioactivity. The atom’s nucleus starts to lose energy in the form of radiated radiation. An experiment was used to confirm this phenomenon. Photographic plates were used to line a drawer. In the drawer was a little amount

Any one of a group of primary subatomic particles that interact via the strong force and are thought to be among matter’s essential constituents. Protons and neutrons are formed by quarks interacting with one another via the strong force, much like atomic nuclei are formed by the latter particles combining in various amounts. Quarks are

This sort of deformation is not undone merely by withdrawing the applied force. An object in the plastic deformation range, however, will first have undergone elastic deformation, which is undone simply by withdrawing the applied force, so the object will return part way to its original shape. Soft thermoplastics have a relatively extensive plastic deformation

Permutation and combination are basically methods that are used to depict a distinct group of objects, by selecting them from a group and then creating subsets with them. It is a way to define the several ways that are used to arrange a specific group of data. When the person selects the objects or the
