Tranquilizers are those drugs which act on our nervous system. They alter the message transmission that happens from nerves to receptors. They are sedative … Read more
Structure of proteins – primary, secondary, tertiary structure and quaternary Proteins are functional biological molecules, made up of polypeptides and are coiled to the specific structures. They serve as transportation channels, as enzymes, transmitters, structural elements, and signal receptors. Every protein has a unique sequence and describes the structure and the functions of proteins. Based … Read more
d and f Block Elements Electronic configuration The general electronic configuration for first and second transition series can be written as ns2(n − 1)dx First = [Ar]4s23dx; second = [Kr]5s24dx For third and fourth transition series, the general electronic configuration isns2(n − 2)f14(n − 1)dx Some elements deviate from the general pattern by “promoting” one … Read more
The amines are basically derivatives of the ammonia. The ammonia is a compound with Nitrogen in the middle and three hydrogen atoms connected to the nitrogen. The nitrogen atom also has two valence electrons in its orbitals. The amines are generally colourless in its pure form. But, it may change colour due to oxidation with … Read more
Soaps trace back their history back in 2200 BC back in Babylon. The ancient innovators had made their revolutionary invention by water, alkali and cassia oil. This ancient formula was written on the Babylon clay tablet from 2200 BC. In the Egyptian transcription back in 1500 BC, it has been noted that the Egyptians daily … Read more
It is a natural polymer of isoprene and it has elastic properties and it can undergo the long range of the reversible extension even by the application of small force. Due to this reason, it is also known as an elastomer or it is said as an example of elastomer polymer. After being stretched or … Read more
Preservatives are generally chemicals that are added in food beverages, medicine drugs, paints, etc. The preservatives are added into these items in order to increase the life of the product. The preservatives keep the product safe from getting damage and corrode. The chemical preservatives avoid any microbial growth or any other chemical changes that would … Read more
The Standard Electrode Potential is a measure of potential for the equilibrium state. There’s a difference in potential which is the potential difference between the electrodes in addition to the electrolyte which is known as electrode’s potential. When there is concentration present in unity of all species indulged in semi-cell, then the electrode potential is … Read more
While you may be seeking to recognize the relationship between Gibbs free energy and emf of a cell, it is quite important to take a look on the basic and even the most complex elements that may be involved for the same. What is Gibbs free energy? Gibbs free energy could be determined as the … Read more
Complex carbohydrates which have highly branched structures are known as polysaccharides. It is made up of the repeating units of the monosaccharides, which are attached by the glucosidic linkages. The number of sugar molecules which bonds together to make the larger molecules is represented by n. Polysaccharides are also known as glycans. Mainly, they are … Read more
