Introduction to carbon Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol “C” and atomic number 6. It is a nonmetal that belongs to Group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon is incredibly versatile and plays a fundamental role in the chemistry of life. It is the fourth most abundant element…
Corrosion
Introduction to corrosion Corrosion is a natural process that refers to the gradual deterioration or degradation of materials, particularly metals, due to chemical reactions with their surrounding environment. It is often characterized by the formation of unwanted compounds or oxides on the surface of the material, leading to the…
Metals in Daily Life
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…
Metals and Their Extractions
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…
Non-Metals
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…
Salt in Daily Life
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…
Chemistry of Salt
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…
Base in Daily Life
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…
Chemistry of Base
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…
Acid in Daily Life
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…
Chemistry of Acid
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…
Types of chemical Reactions
In the first blog of the series, we talked about chemical reactions. We know from the blog that a chemical reaction is a process in which atoms or molecules of one or more substances are rearranged to form new substances. Today we are going to discuss types of chemical reactions. In a chemical…
Chemical Reaction
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…
Ultrasound and its Application
In our previous blog of the series, we talked about ‘Reflection of sound’. Today we are going to discuss about ‘Application of Ultrasound’. In our previous blogs of the series, we discussed about some features of sound. From the discussion we are familiar with the concept of sound as a…
Reflection of Sound
In our previous blog of the series, we talked about ‘Production and propagation of sound’. Today we are going to discuss about ‘Reflection of sound’. The term ‘reflection’ is defined as ‘throwing back of an object from a surface’. This term is frequently used for light, heat, and sound waves….
