Unveiling the Chemical Bonds

INTRODUCTION  The backbone of chemistry which holds the atoms and molecules together is known as chemical bonding through which vast array of substances are formed which surrounds us. Chemical bonds play a crucial role in determining the properties and behavior of matter be it a simplest molecule or a complex biological system. The atoms are not the single and isolated entities but rather they interact with each other through different forces and mechanisms. These interactions lead to the formation of chemical bonds which helps in holding the atom together and diversity of molecular structure and properties eventually increases. All of the chemistry is based on the fundamental concept of chemical bonding as from the simplest molecules to the most complex biological system all have chemical bonds in them. It is quite crucial for understanding behavior of matter,from the physical properties of substances like melting and boiling point to the chemical reactions which occur...

Building blocks of modern technology:CHEMICAL GASES

INTRODUCTION  The most important part of our daily lives are the chemical gases as they play an essential role in several industries from healthcare and manufacturing to energy production and transportation. These gases are considered to be essential as they form components in numerous applications,transformation of process and improves our lives. Instead of being so important,they remain unnoticed as they work behind the scenes to make modern lifestyle possible. A collection of atoms or molecules that are free to move and expand are generally characterized as a chemical gas. They can be composed of a single element like oxygen or nitrogen, or a combination of elements such as carbon dioxide or ammonia. Each of them has their unique characteristics like melting point,boiling point and reactivity which determines their applications and uses. Since the period of ancient civilizations,chemical gases have been employed for several purposes like lighting,heating ...

Major Inventions in Chemistry Part-I

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY INVENTIONS  1. Haber-Bosch Process (1909):   -It is a method that brought revolution in the production of ammonia. Nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) gases are used to produce ammonia (NH3).  -German chemist Fritz Haber and engineer Carl Bosch in the early 20th century developed this process which had a profound impact on the production of fertilizers, explosives, and other chemicals. - In 1904, by using a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen gases Fritz Haber experimented the production of ammonia. -However in 1909,He achieved a breakthrough as he was able to develope a process which by using high pressure and temperature converted nitrogen and hydrogen into ammonia. -Commercial-scale production of ammonia was made possible in 1913 by the efforts of,an engineer at BASF, Carl Bosch who jointly worked with Haber thus scaling up the process. -The ammonia produced by this process is used to manufacture fertilizers like amm...

Natural Phenomena

>What is a natural phenomena? The observable events which occur naturally without any human intervention is known as natural phenomena. For example: weather,gravity,biological processes,germination,rusting etc. Types of phenomena:- - Physical phenomena  -Chemical phenomena  -Biological phenomena  -Astronomical phenomena  -Geological phenomena  -Meteorological phenomena  >Importance of natural phenomena  -Growth of a plant being a natural phenomena help humans get food from them. -Volcanic eruptions and oceanic currents affect the global climate  -Formation of clouds and rainbows can impact the environment in many ways. In this blog, we are going to discuss some of the startling  natural phenomena. >Formation of a rainbow 🌈  ● Rainbow appears like an arc of different colors in the sky when sun shines after a heavy rain. It can be seen in the section of sky which is opposite the sun. ● It's formation obeys the process...
