Processes by which substances are transformed to one or several products are called chemical reactions. Chemical processes that occur in the presence of light, like sunlight, are called photochemical reactions. These processes can occur naturally or under controlled condit..

. Transition State explains the rate of reaction in term of formation of a transition state of reacting molecules. The formation of transition state requires energy of activation. Transition state theory connects kinetic rates with thermodynamic properties of reactants and the transition ..

>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 continuous motion. The molecules exert forces on one another. These forces dep..

Internal Energy - Every substance possesses a definite quantity of energy, under a given set of factors such as chemical nature of the substance, temperature and pressure. The total energy contained in a system or substance is called its internal energy or intrinsic energy. It is represen..

Processes by which substances are transformed to one or several products are called chemical reactions. Chemical processes that occur in the presence of light, like sunlight, are called photochemical reactions. These processes can occur naturally or under controlled conditions i..

There are different forms of energy like for example, mechanical energy, heat energy, electrical energy and chemical energy. In this chapter, we shall study about mechanical energy. Kinetic energy and potential energy are the two types of mechanical energ..

Law of Conservation of Energy - Let us see what is actually taking place in the following examples: Steam engine: The coal burns. Heat due to the combustion of coal converts water into steam. The expansive force exerted by the steam on the piston of the engine moves the locomotive. Chemical..

Control of Ozone Depletion - Policy decisions are already taken in India to undertake technology developments for alternatives to CFCs. Two CSIR laboratories - National chemical laboratory and Indian Institute of Chemical technology are working on this. Along with this..
