The Periodic Table

INTRODUCTION  The cornerstone of chemistry which provides the logical and systematic framework for understanding the properties and behavior of elements is known as the Periodic Table. From over centuries, it is considered as a fundamental tool for scientists and researchers because of the tabular display of the elements which are organized by atomic number and recurring chemical properties. It is also a powerful tool which reveals relationships and patterns between elements. The early version of periodic table was developed by Dmitri Mendleev and since then it has been continuously evolved to the modern periodic table which reflects advances in our understanding of atomic structure and chemical properties.  The modern periodic table is arranged into rows which are called as periods and columns which are known as groups,with elements arranged in order of increasing atomic number. It also reflects the reccuring patterns of chemical properties which enable scientists...

The Fascinating World of Inorganic Chemistry

INTRODUCTION  A branch of chemistry which deals with the study of inorganic compounds(they are the compounds which are not derived from living organisms) is known as inorganic chemistry. When compared with organic chemistry which focuses on carbon based compounds, this branch of chemistry deals with the different types of elements and compounds which includes metals,minerals and other non-carbon based substances. Such compounds can be found in nature or synthesized in laboratory and they play an essential role in several fields such as medicine,material science and environmental science.  It is a vast field which involves the study of properties, structure and reactivity of inorganic compounds as well as their applications in different industries. The inorganic compounds can exhibit different types of properties such as catalytic activity, magnetism and luminescence. It is essential to understand the properties and reactivity of inorganic compounds for the developm...

Exploring Metals,Non-metals and Alloys

INTRODUCTION  The fundamental materials which have shaped the human civilization are metals,non-metals and alloys. These materials have played a crucial role in the development as the earliest tool made out of stone and metal to the complex technologies that we use today ,these elements have been employed at every stage. In this blog post ,we will look into the properties, uses and differences among metals,non-metals and alloys. For the development of new technologies, improving existing ones and for solving real-world problems it is essential to study the properties of the materials like metals,non-metals and alloys. METALS These are the materials which are typically hard,shiny and good conductors if electricity. They are often malleable and ductile which means that they can be shaped and molded into various forms. Such type of material have been used for centuries in variety of applications, from tools and machinery to electronics and construction. > Properties of ...
