Metals play a crucial role in our daily lives and are utilized in numerous ways. Some common uses of metals in everyday life include: Use of metal in construction Metals are widely used in construction due to their desirable properties such as strength, durability, and versatility. Here are some common ways metals are used in […]

Introduction of Metal Metals are a group of chemical elements known for their characteristic properties and widespread use in various aspects of human civilization. They have been utilized by humans for thousands of years due to their unique combination of physical and chemical properties. Key Characteristics of Metal Luster: Metals exhibit a characteristic luster, which refers to

Introduction to Non-Metals Non-Metals are chemical elements that lack the properties of metals. They are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, and they are often brittle or crumbly. Non-metals have high electronegativity, which means that they tend to attract electrons in chemical reactions. Non-metals are a group of elements on the periodic table that
Introduction of Salt Salt, in the context of chemistry, is a type of compound that is formed when an acid and a base react with each other. It is a solid substance that often looks like tiny crystals. You may be familiar with common table salt, which is a type of salt made up

Introduction to the Salt In chemistry, the term “salt” refers to a compound that is formed when the hydrogen ions (H+) of an acid are replaced by metal ions or other positive ions. It is a broad category of chemical compounds that are typically composed of an anion and a cation. Salts are generally solid
Introduction to Base. In chemistry, bases are fundamental substances that play a crucial role in chemical reactions and everyday life. Bases are often referred to as alkaline substances and are the opposite of acids. They have distinct properties and behaviors that set them apart from other types of compounds. A base is defined as a

A base, in chemistry, is a substance that can accept protons (H+) or donate pairs of electrons. Bases are often characterized by their ability to neutralize acids, producing salt and water in a chemical reaction called neutralization. Bases are the opposite of acids and are essential components of the pH scale, which measures the acidity
Introduction to acid. Acids are a type of chemical substance characterized by certain properties and behaviors, discussed in detail in the previous blog. They are known for their sour taste, although tasting acids is not recommended due to their potential corrosiveness and harm to the body. Acids can be found in various forms such as

Introduction to Acid An acid is a type of chemical substance that has specific properties and characteristics. In simple terms, an acid is a substance that donates protons (hydrogen ions, H+) when dissolved in water or when it reacts with another substance. Acids can also be defined as substances that increase the concentration of hydrogen
In our earlier blogs, we talked about the fundamentals of Chemistry and Physics based on syllabus of grade 9. In this blog we are going to discuss fundamentals of chemistry based on the syllabus of grade 10. We will start our first blog with the discussion of chemical reactions. Chemical Reaction A chemical reaction is
In our previous blog of the series, we talked about ‘Energy’. Today we are going to discuss ‘Law of Conservation of energy’. As we discussed earlier energy is capacity of doing work. Whenever a work is done, a form of energy must be involved. There are so many forms of energies like, Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Electrical

In our previous blog of the series, we talked about ‘work’. Today we are going to discuss ‘energy’. Energy is the word we use generally in daily life according to our needs. In science, we have a specific meaning and definition for it. The term ‘energy’ is defined as “capacity of doing work”. Hence, if
In some of our previous articles of the series we talked about motion, force, and gravitation. Today we are going to discuss about a scientific term “work”. In our daily life, we are very familiar with the term ‘work’. We all do different work. Even all living things do work in their limited manner like
Buoyancy Force Buoyancy, or upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. We have come across many daily life observations of sinking objects in water and floating on it. As boats, ships, plastic bottles and straws float on the surface of water, some

Thrust In our fifth blog of the series, we discussed forces. As a force is any interaction when unopposed, will change the state of the object. From the same blog we are also familiar with the concept of net force. When a net force is applied in a particular direction in a small fraction of time
