basic elements

Borax is slightly hydrolyzed in solution. As boric acid is a weak acid, the solution is alkaline in nature...

Basic oxides are the oxides of metals. If soluble in water they react with water to produce hydroxides (alkalies) e.g., ..

Symbol C Atomic number 6 Mass number 12 Isotopes 12 6 C, 13 6 C, 14 6 C 1. Carbon is the first member of the group IVA. 2. Electronic configuration of this group shows that the members have four electrons in their valence shell. 3. Other members of this group ar..

The oxides of elements in a period become progressively more acidic as one goes from left to right in a period of the periodic table. For example, in third period, the behavior of oxides changes as follows:..

It is quite evident that carbon displays a great propensity in forming a large variety of carbon and hydrogen compounds. But carbon can also form bonds with other elements in a hydrocarbon chain, when one or more hydrogen is replaced by an element like oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur..

Summary - Groups 13 to 18 of the Periodic table of elements constitute the p-block. An overview of these elements is presented here. In group 13, the characteristic group oxidation state of + 3 is known but the + 1 state gets progressively stabilized on going down the group. It ..

These include the non-living, physico - chemical factors such as air, water, soil and the basic elements and compounds of the environmen..

Both living organisms and non-living matter are composed of some basic elements and are bound by the same physical laws. However, living organisms differ from non-living matter in some specific aspect..

Almost all the elements of group 13 form oxides and hydroxides of the composition M 2 O 3 and M(OH) 3 respectively. The nature of these oxides / hydroxides change from weakly acidic to amphoteric and amphoteric to basic in moving down the group from B to Tl...

Living organisms, like any non-living matter, are composed of some basic elements. The same physical laws such as gravitation, magnetism, thermodynamics etc., also bind living organisms. Yet, living organisms differ from non-living in fundamental characteristics such as ce..
