Chemistry is the science of study of matter in finest sense, its interactions and existence.
At the initial point of the 19th century, a British chemist John Dalton proposed the atomic theory. This could successfully explain the law of conservation of mass and constant proportion. However, since …
Functional groups are an atom or a group of atoms bonded together in a unique manner attached to the alkyl chain or ring or any other organic molecule. They confer special characteristics …
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is also known as sodium bicarbonate. It has the chemical formula NaHCO3. It is a commonly used basic salt and is also known as baking soda. It is a …
The different chemical species, like atoms, ions, and molecules, exist together by bonds. A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between two chemical species. Depending on the specific type of bond and …
Copper is a transition element and it is present in the d-block of the periodic table. Copper belongs to the 4th period so it has 4s orbital and 3d orbital. It is …
Hydrochloric acid is also called muriatic acid and is chemically represented as HCl. It is a monobasic acid and hence, it releases only one hydrogen atom when dissolved in water. The hydrochloric …
Hydrobromic acid is a diatomic molecule that is a colorless gas at room temperature. It is also called hydrogen bromide and its chemical formula is “HF.” The compound has a molar mass …
Metals are a set of elements with distinct characters. The periodic table has a total of 118 elements, and of them, 91 of them are metals. These metals can be categorized as …
The difference between atoms and ions may seem small — just a change in charge — but it’s one of the most important concepts in chemistry. If you don’t understand this clearly, …
Sodium hydroxide is a white, odorless and crystalline solid substance available as circular pellets in the chemical laboratory. One should be careful while handling it due to its caustic and corrosive nature. …
