Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is made by the valence bond theory in terms of the quantu..

The sound waves are directed towards the ear canal by the pinna. The waves that enter the canal are concentrated and made to strike against the tympanum. The vibrations are picked up by the malleus on the other side. These vibrations are transmitted to the fenestra ovalis via the incus and the ..

states that one quantum is absorbed by the molecule responsible for the primary photochemical process. After absorption, the excited molecule can then undergo various reactions. It can form a product, it can catalyze a chain reaction, or it can get de-excited. If on absorption of one ph..

Introduction - In the nineteenth century scientists saw enough evidence to prove that each element has its distinctive atom. But all tem atoms contain identical electrons. In spite of the fact that electrons carry negative charge, atoms as whole were found to be neutral. This led to the fact that a..

The word 'Physics' comes from the Greek word 'phusis' meaning 'nature', introduced by the ancient scientist 'Aristotle'. Man has always been fascinated by nature. So, he questioned and sought answers for every phenomena nature could offer. The branch of science which is devoted to the study of nat..

Under certain experimental conditions, a beam of particles (for example, electrons ) can exhibit wavelike properties. Such matter waves are governed by the laws of quantum physics. The wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particles. These are also known as de Brogl..

(due to its highly negative electrode potential). Instead, H + ions produced due to the self-ionization of water get reduced at cathod..
