  2. what is difference between ionic bond and kovalent bond?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies

    1. Covalent Bonds
      Ionic Bonds
      Diffen › Science › Chemistry

      There are two types of atomic bonds - ionic bonds and covalent bonds. They differ in their structure and properties. Covalent bonds consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms in a fixed orientation. Relatively high energies are required to break them (50 - 200 kcal/mol). Whether two atoms can form a covalent bond depends upon their electronegativity i.e. the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. If two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity - as sodium and chloride do - then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. This results in a positively charged ion (cation) and negatively charged ion (anion). The bond between these two ions is called an ionic bond.

  3. can you explain more Kinetic Theory?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The kinetic theory describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant rapid motion that has randomness arising from their many collisions with each other and with the walls of the container.

      Kinetic theory explains macroscopic properties of gases, such as pressure, temperature, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and volume, by considering their molecular composition and motion. The theory posits that gas pressure is due to the impacts, on the walls of a container, of molecules or atoms moving at different velocities.

      Kinetic theory defines temperature in its own way, not identical with the thermodynamic definition

  4. Please give me an example from Heterogeneous Mixture, Homogeneous Mixture. thanks

    1. Here are some examples of very common heterogeneous mixtures:

      A bowl of Fruit Loops cereal is a heterogeneous mixture because it has cereal bits of many colors floating around in milk.
      A bottle of balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing is a mixture that is heterogeneous, and has to be shaken up to make the mixture appear and taste more combined.
      Sand shaken up in a bottle of water is a heterogeneous mixture of sand particles floating around which will eventually settle to the bottom of the bottle, making it look a lot less like a mixture.

      Here are some homogeneous mixtures:

      Water itself is an example of a homogeneous mixture. It often contains dissolved minerals and gases, but these are dissolved throughout the water. Tap water and rain water are both homogeneous, even though they may have different levels of dissolved minerals and gases.
      A bottle of alcohol is a man-made homogeneous mixture, from a fine Italian wine to a glass of Scotch whisky.

    1. Examples of Diffusion

      You can smell perfume because it diffuses into the air and makes its way into your nose.
      A teabag placed in a cup of hot water will diffuse into the water.
      Placing food coloring in a liquid will diffuse the color.
      Cigarette smoke diffuses into the air.
      A few crystals of potassium permanganate in water will diffuse and turn the water purple.
      Stirring some sugar into tea will help it diffuse quicker.
      Leave a soda bottle open and the carbon dioxide bubble will diffuse and leave it flat.
      When cooking pasta, the water diffuses into the noodles, making them bigger and moister.
      If you water wilted plants, the water will diffuse into the plants and they will get firmer.
      A helium balloon will deflate a small amount every day as helium diffuses through the balloon into the air.
      Heat is diffused during heat conduction, such as a mug getting hot when a hot liquid is placed in it.
      In leaves, oxygen from the leaf cells diffuses out to the air.
      Alloys are examples of diffusion, as in copper being diffused in a copper alloy.
      If two metal blocks are pushed tightly together and remain like that for several years, one metal will diffuse into the other metal.
      In the crystal solid state, lattice diffusion occurs, which means the atoms move within the lattice structure.
      In a leaf, carbon dioxide diffuses from the air spaces between mesophyll cells to the chloroplast.

      Diffusion in the Human Body

      Digested particles of food diffuse in the colon.
      Oxygen in the lungs diffuses from the alveolar air space into the blood circulating around the lungs.
      Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood circulating around the lungs into the alveolar air space.
      Oxygen diffuses from the blood cells in the blood stream into muscles.
      During pregnancy, food molecules and oxygen diffuse from the mother’s blood to the fetus’s blood supply through the placenta.

      Cultural Diffusion

      People in the United States play soccer, which is played in Mexico.
      The Spanish took over lands in the Americas and forced the inhabitants to convert to Roman Catholicism.
      There was a mass migration of Irish to the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries.
      Starbucks and McDonalds can be found in many different places all over the world.
      Computers have made their way around the globe.

      Diffusion in Meteorology

      Atmospheric circulation is the way thermal energy is diffused on the surface of the Earth.
      In storms, warm air carries moisture and rises within cooler air. This leads to water vapor developing and a storm brewing.
      Convection is the transfer of heat and it occurs by massive motion in the atmosphere. Examples are the Hadley cell and the polar vortex.
      Wind is a localized phenomenon due to convection.
      Ocean currents diffuse warm water from the tropics to the equator.
      Cold water at the poles moves towards the equator.

  9. could you explain me about chemical bond??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. yes i could ,, A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between atoms with opposite charges, or through the sharing of electrons as in the covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bond" such as metallic, covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" or "secondary bond" such as Dipole-dipole interaction, the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding.

    1. The colloidal system (hereinafter abbreviated as "colloid" only) is a mixed (dispersion) form of two or more homogeneous substances but has a large dispersed particle size (1- 1000 nm), thus experiencing Tyndall Effect. Homogeneous means that the dispersed particles are not affected by the force of gravity or other forces imposed on them; So there is no precipitation. For example, this homogeneous nature is also owned by the solution, but is not possessed by the usual mixture (suspension).

      Colloid is easy to find everywhere: milk, gelatin, ink, shampoo, and cloud are colloid examples that can be found everyday. The cytoplasm in the cell is also a colloidal system. Colloid chemistry becomes a separate study in industrial chemistry because of its importance.
