free energy refers to the amount of internal energy in a thermodynamic system that is available to do work. There are different forms of thermodynamic free energy
Elastomers are polymers showing properties of both viscosity and elasticity and are also called viscoelasticity. The molecules of elastomers held together by weak intermolecular forces
Hybridization is process, where the atomic orbitals having different shape and energy inter mingle together to form a set of similar orbitals
A substance that has the ability to increase the rate of a chemical reaction without it being changed or altered by the reacting chemicals or being consumed by the is called a catalyst.
These are those polymers which decompose under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, as a result of the action of microorganism/enzymes.
Enthalpy is the measurement of energy in a thermodynamic system. The quantity of enthalpy equals the total content of heat of a system
It is a theoretical model which details the molecular composition of the gas in terms of a huge number of sub microscopic particles that contain both atoms and molecules.
It is a process that involves the protection of steel and iron from exposure to the atmosphere leading to rusting
Petroleum Refining is defined as the industrial process of production of useful petroleum products from crude oil. The crude oil in its raw form is a dark and sticky liquid which is not useful. To get the usable products from the crude oil, it needs to be refined.
Calcination is a very simple chemical process, where the solid material or the substance is heated in a controlled environment, in the process the temperature is also regulated
