Quantum Theory of Covalent Bond - Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is made by the valence b..

states that one quantum is absorbed by the molecule responsible for the primary photochemical process. After absorption, the excited molecule can then undergo various reactions. It can form a product, it can catalyze a chain reaction, or it can get de-excited. If on absorption of one ph..

Introduction - In the nineteenth century scientists saw enough evidence to prove that each element has its distinctive atom. But all tem atoms contain identical electrons. In spite of the fact that electrons carry negative charge, atoms as whole were found to be neutral. This led to the fact that a..

. In the modern day world, with so many chemical pollutants in the environment, it becomes very essential to study the transformation of these pollutants in the environment. To do this, one needs to have a knowledge of chemical kinetics. The first chemical reaction whose rate was quantitatively stu..

The word 'Physics' comes from the Greek word 'phusis' meaning 'nature', introduced by the ancient scientist 'Aristotle'. Man has always been fascinated by nature. So, he questioned and sought answers for every phenomena nature could offer. The branch of science which is devoted to the study of nat..

Breaking down food into simpler forms is called digestion. Digestion is both mechanical and chemical . In mechanical digestion, food is physically broken down into smaller particles by processes such as chewing. Chemical digestion makes use of certain chemicals called enzym..

In unicellular organisms a single cell carries out all the life processes as the cell itself is the organism. In advanced forms like the few-celled algae, protozoa, sponges, etc., the size of the organism ensures that all the cells are not very far from each other. The uptake of materials..

Under certain experimental conditions, a beam of particles (for example, electrons ) can exhibit wavelike properties. Such matter waves are governed by the laws of quantum physics. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particles. These are also known as de Brogl..
