properties of earth materials

. (i) Water is called the "Universal Solvent". Almost all substances dissolve in water to a certain extent. Hence, it known as a universal solvent. Because of this property, it is impossible to get chemically pure water on the earth. Air dissolves in water to a certain extent. T..

Atomic Properties Electronic Configuration - The relative abundance of noble gases along with their electronic configurations is given in the table. Electronic configurations of noble gases Element Symbol Atomic No. Electronic Configuration Abundance In Earth’s Crust (in p..

X-Rays follow a rectilinear propagation and travel with a velocity of 3 x 10 8 ms - 1 in vacuum. They are not deflected by electric and magnetic field. Since they do not contain any charge but are diffracted by crystals, X-rays cause fluorescence when incident on certain materials such..

Introduction - Earth is an abundant source of material. Man has intensively studied the properties of these materials extensively and found new methods of using them. The air we breathe, the water we drink, stones and rocks, almost everything that is around u..

Introduction - Earth is an abundant source of materials. The air we breathe, the water we drink, stones and rocks, almost everything that is around us, are all useful to man for some purpose or the other. Gaseous materials like Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon dioxide are f..

Introduction - The p-block contains several elements of great social and economic importance as well as chemical interest. Examples include the use of aluminium as a structural material, the importance of silicon and germanium as semiconductors, and the use of sulphur, phosphorus and nitr..

In an Earth environment, electromagnetic waves propagate in ways that depend not only on their own properties but also on those of the environment itsel..

The force of attraction or force of gravitation between Earth (or any planet) and any other material objects in the universe is known as force of gravity or gravit..
