Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom - Two new theories came to substantially modify Bohr's Atomic model. They a..

Quantum Theory of Covalent Bond - 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..

Wave nature of material objects In 1924, de Broglie's suggested that all material objects including an electron have a dual character; they behave as particles as well as waves. The wavelength associated with a particle of mass 'm', moving with velocity 'v' is given by de Broglie's relation as: ..

In 1900, Max Planck presented the results of his famous black body radiation experiments, which showed that light has a dual character, behaving like a particle as well as a wave. He gave the Quantum Theory of Radiation explaining electromagnetic radiation and energy. Its main..

According to this theory, damage to mechanisms that synthesise proteins, results in faulty proteins, which accumulate to a level that causes catastrophic damage to cells, tissues and orga..

Several attempts have been made from time to time to explain the origin of life on earth. As a result, there are several theories which offer their own explanation on the possible mechanism of origin of lif..

Molecular Orbital Theory - Molecular orbital theory was proposed by F. Hund and R.S. Mulliken in 1932. The basic idea of molecular orbital theory is that atomic orbitals of individual atoms combine to form molecular orbitals. The electrons in molecules are present in t..

During muscle contraction, the laterally projecting heads (cross bridges) of the thick myosin myofilaments come in contact with the thin actin myofilaments and rotate on them. This pulls the thin myofilaments towards the middle of the sarcomere past the thick myofilaments. The Z lines come closer ..

There have been several explanations on the possible mechanism of inheritance of traits from the parent to the offspring, put forth from time to time by different biologists. All these early theories presume that the characteristics of the two parents somehow mix during inherita..
