Experiment
Take a beaker of water. Add a pinch of salt (sodium chloride) and stir. The water dissolves the salt and the salt spreads out throughout the water. Two samples of this solution taken from two different parts of the beaker will have the same composition. So, the solution is said to be homogeneous. G..
Properties of Matter
A solid has certain characteristics: According to modern theory, the molecules of a solid are fixed in relation to each other. They vibrate in place, but do not wander around. This accounts for the fact that a solid keeps its own shape. Solids are usually crystalline. A solid is a crystalline subst..
Matter
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 macroscopic p..
Matter Waves
Wave Nature of Particles - The suggestion that matter may have wave like properties was first put forwarded in 1924-1925 by Louis De Broglie. He argued that if light, which consists of waves according to classical picture, can sometimes behave like particles, then it should be p..

A 100 mL syringe is taken whose nozzle is plugged or closed by inserting a rubber cork. The plunger is drawn out such that the whole space is occupied by air. When the plunger is pushed back into the syringe we notice that the air inside the syringe decreases i.e., it is compressed. The experi..

Light has been regarded as waves to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction etc. However in 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light has a dual character, which means, it can behave as a particle as well as a wave. It was observed that some of the experimental facts regarding..
States of Matter
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 'macroscopic' ..
Is Matter Around us Pure
Separation of the Constituents of Mixtures The separation of the various constituents of different mixtures depends on the properties of the constituents. Some of these properties are size, density, magnetic nature of particles, solubility, miscibility, differences in boilin..
Matter and Materials
Matter exists in several phases. If we look at all objects around us, we perceive that some materials have a definite shape and occupy a definite amount of space or volume. We call these materials solids and we can name many objects that are solids. We say that solids have a definite shap..
Is Matter Around us Pure
Is Matter Around us Pure - Impure Substances - Mixtures Impure substances are commonly called mixtures. A mixture is a material containing two or more elements or compounds that are in close contact and are mixed in any proportion. The constituents of mixtures exhibit their individual ..

I dont even think my school teachers has as much knowledge as this tutors does. Tutor Vista ROCKS.........
This was a great session. Everytime I have this tutoring I start to understand my work a little more because the tutor explains it to me as well as shows me how to work out the problems. - Andrew
We got alot done all the responses were fast the internet was kinda slow but that cant be helped this was a good tutor and they taught everything clearly. - Jenifer
It was a great pleasure working with this tutor was able to take me through the steps of my math problems which was very helpful because since I don't have lots of experience with math by the tutor doing the steps it helps me understand a great deal. Im so excited that Im finally getting this amazing service. We got so much done. thank you.
