ATOMIC THEORIES

INTRODUCTION  The fundamental concept in physics and chemistry which describes the structure and properties of atoms is known as atomic theory. The building blocks of any matter are atoms and it is important to understand the composition and behavior of atoms for explaining several phenomena in the natural world. From centuries, atomic theory has evolved significantly, from ancient philosophical ideas to modern quantum mechanical models. Many scientists and Philosophers have contributed in the development of atomic theory and it has been a gradual process. It has undergone significant transformations over a period of time ,from Democritus' ancient idea of indivisible atoms to the modern quantum mechanical models. Every stage of development has provided new insights into the nature of atoms and their behavior.  Super In this blog post,we will look into the concepts or theories which led to the development of modern quantum theory for atoms. This will also reveal t...

Chemistry of Water

INTRODUCTION  Out of many essential substances on the planet earth one of the most important one is Water as it has unique chemical properties which have the ability to support life on Earth.  In this blog post,we will explore  the unique properties of water,it's structure and its importance in various biological and chemical processes.  The Structure of Water A water is a simple molecule which is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom thus making the chemical formula H2O. To determine the unique properties and behavior of water it is essential to understand the structure of water. ● Molecular Structure  The molecule of water has a bent or V-shape structure with an oxygen atom at the center and the two hydrogen atoms on either side. Covalent Bonding is present between oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are considered very strong chemical bonds that are involved in the sharing of electrons. ● Bond Angle and Length  The hydrogen atoms in ...
