Electrochemistry

What Is Electrochemistry? Electrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that involves the study of chemical reactions dealing with electric energy and chemical changes. The chemical reactions in which either electric current is produced or is required for the reaction to occur are called Electrochemical reactions.  Examples of Electrochemistry: The most common example of electrochemistry is […]

Concepts of pH Scale

The pH scale has been used to measure the hydrogen ion percentage in the particular solution. The pH scale measurement ‘p’ implies potenz. The pH level measures the acidic level of a solution that helps to identify the acid present in a particular solution. The range of pH scale is 0 to 14 representing 0

Chemical Reactions

The molecule is termed the combination or cluster of atoms bound together by a chemical bond. This chemical bond of the atoms can be altered according to the desired condition to form a new bond. This re-organising and rearranging of the atoms is known as a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction has two terminologies, a

Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding is defined as the attractive force that holds atoms or ions together and stabilizes the atoms and ions using the loss of energy. The chemical compounds formed are based on the strength of the chemical bonds between the different elements involved. The strength of the chemical bond determines the properties and stability of

Catalyst

Introduction A Catalyst is a substance that can alter the rate of the reaction. It can either slow down a reaction as per requirement, or they can increase the rate of reaction. All of this is done without the substance (catalyst) being consumed. A material is called a chemical catalyst because these types of catalysts

Behaviour of Gases

The gas is one of the states of matter, and the gas has a large intermolecular space because it does not have a definite shape and is easily compressible. Temperature and pressure are certain factors that affect the behaviour of gases. The kinetic theory postulates several conditions for explaining the behaviour of gases and various

Atomic Structure

Atoms are the smallest component of matter and are indivisible. They are the building blocks for the matter. “Atom” is derived from the Greek word, ‘A-tomio’, meaning uncuttable or indivisible. In the initial days, all ideas regarding the matter were merely theoretical, they could not be carried out experimentally. John Dalton, a British school teacher,
