introduction to the structure of matter

Introduction - The first magnetic phenomenon observed were those associated with naturally occurring magnets, fragments of iron ore found near the ancient city of Magnesia. These attracted unmagnetised iron. The attraction was maximum at certain regions of the magnet called the poles. The..

Introduction - Today the fact that all matter is made up of atoms is universally accepted. Realisation of the atomic constituents of matter began in 1828 when Scottish botanist Robert Brown observed a random ceaseless motion of pollen grains suspended in a liquid. Many..

The evidence of the electrical nature of matter preceeded the first theories about the structure of matter. In 1832, Michael Faraday discovered electrolysis. He gave the first important clue relating electricity to matter and about the electric nature o..

The branch of physics which deals with magnetism due to the electric current is called electromagnetism. For a long time it was hard to believe if there existed a relation between electricity and magnetism. Hans Christian Oersted observation made a discovery demonstrating a close relationship betwe..

Introduction - The classification of matter into three different states, namely solid, liquid and gaseous state is termed as the physical classification of matter. Most properties of solid, liquid and gases that can be observed with our sense organs are called as 'macr..

Introduction - One of the most famous formulas in the world is E=mC 2 , where E is energy, m is mass and C is speed of ligh..

Introduction - Biogeography reveals that living organisms (plants and animals) are found practically everywhere on this earth. The living components interact among themselves as well as with their physical environment like soil, air and water. The branch of biology, which deals with the r..
