gas behavior

All gases, irrespective of their chemical composition, obey certain laws that govern the relationship between the volume, temperature and pressure of the gases. A given mass of a gas, under definite conditions of temperature and pressure, occupies a definite volume. When any of the ..

Like all other first elements of the groups, oxygen also differs from its family members. The anomalous behavior of oxygen is due to its (i) small size (ii) high value of ionization energy and electronegativity (iii) absence of d-orbitals in the valence shell. Some of the important differ..

Another simple equation of state is the one for an ideal gas. The figure below shows an experimental setup to study the behavior of a gas. The cylinder has a movable piston to vary the volume, heating can vary the temperature, and we can pump the desired amount o..

Group 17 of the periodic table contains the elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. These elements are collectively known as the HALOGENS. This name is derived from two Greek words Halo and Gens meaning 'salt producing'. Halogens are among the most reactive non-metals. There are ..

. To sum it up, the kinetic theory of matter is based upon the following points: Matter consists of molecules. These are the smallest particles, which are capable of free existence and retain all the chemical properties of the parent substance. The molecules are always in a state of random continuo..

Group 17 Elements (The Halogen Family) - Introduction - Group 17 of the periodic table contains the elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. These elements are collectively known as the HALOGENS. This name is derived from two Greek words Halo and Gens meaning 'salt producing'. Hal..

State of the system implies the conditions of its existence. In order to understand it, let H 2 O be considered as a chemical system. H 2 O can exist in three physical states; ice, water and steam depending upon the conditions of temperature and pressure. For e.g., at 1 atmospheric pressure, H 2 O ..
