Types of systems in thermodynamics

Chemical Thermodynamics – Types of systems A system is referred to as a part of the universe under observation while is the remaining universe constitutes the surroundings with which the system can interact. System and surroundings together make the universe The system can be classified according to the movement of energy and matter in and … Read more

Chemical Thermodynamics

  Chemical energy which is in stored condition by molecules can be spreaded as heat during chemical reactions. The branch of chemistry which studies the quantitative relationship between heat and other forms of energy is defined as thermodynamics. The laws of thermodynamics examine the energy changes of macroscopic systems with a large number of molecules … Read more

Melting and boiling points

  What is Boiling Point? The boiling point exists as the temperature at which liquid’s vapor pressure is equivalent to liquid’s atmospheric pressure of the liquid and then the liquid change its state to vapor form. As soon as the liquid starts boiling, the temperature remains constant until all of the liquid gets converted into … Read more

Role of gas laws in elucidating the concept of the molecule

  A wonderful thing to know about gases is that, in spite of the extensive chemical properties’ difference, all of the gases anyhow obey Gas Laws. The gas laws manage what’s the behavior of gases w.r.t. Pressure, temperature, volume, and amount. Basically, there are 5 gas laws! The gas laws primarily consist of thee laws, … Read more

Boyle’s Law

  Boyle’s law also called Mariotte’s law (in French), or Boyle–Mariotte law, refers to an experimental gas law which explains how the pressure of the gas increases as the container’s volume increases. So, Boyle’s law in the modern statement refers to: The sheer pressure applied by a given mass in a closed system is inversely … Read more

Types of chemical bonding

Types of bonding The formation of Chemical compounds is via connection of two or more than atoms. A stable compound arises when the entire energy of the mixture has lesser energy than isolated atoms. Bound state indicates a purely attractive force between atoms. The two out most conditions of chemical bonds are: Ionic Bond Covalent … Read more

Hydrogen bonds

Most of the people feel comfortable with the concept of covalent and ionic bonds, yet they are not sure about what actually hydrogen bonds are, how their formation takes place, and why they are important.   What do you mean by Hydrogen Bond? Hydrogen bonds refer to the electromagnetic attractions between 2 atoms or the … Read more

Shapes of some simple molecules

Some types of shapes are found in molecules of different substances. Also, these can be based on the study and the understanding of their properties. Linear Molecules The highlighting feature regarding linear molecules is – there’s repulsion acting mutually regarding all electron groups which are present so that their atoms are aligned to a straight … Read more

Bohr’s Model and its Limitations

Atom is composed of various sub atomic particles carrying positive or negative charge as observed and experimented by various scientists. Soon after these sub particles were discovered, scientists became eager to explain the distribution of these charged particles in an atom. It was major challenge before the scientists at the end of the 19th century … Read more

Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

  Heisenberg uncertainty principle is also known as indeterminacy principle. It is a part of quantum mechanics. It is segmented in year 1927 by a German physicist Werner Heisenberg. It states that at the same time the position and the velocity of an object cannot be measured together exactly even theoretically. It took people time … Read more
