The process of production of food with the help of sunlight, water and air by the …
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
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.
These are those polymers which decompose under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, as a result of the action of microorganism/enzymes.
Crystal field theory established in 1929 explains the interaction of the metal ion and the ligand as a pure electrostatic reaction
Polyvinyl chloride is produced from the main component. It is white, brittle solid material available in powder form or granules.
Chirality is an important property of asymmetry in many branches of science. A chiral molecule or ion exists in two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other, called enantiomers
Optical activity is the ability of a chiral molecule to rotate the plane of plane-polarised light.some organic compounds cause the rotation of polarized light
Chirality is an important property of asymmetry in many branches of science. A chiral molecule or ion exists in two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other, called enantiomers
A Calorimeter is a device that is used to measure the heat flow of a chemical reaction or physical change.
Quantum number is a value that is used to indicate the energy that is present in atoms and molecules, in addition an electron that exists within an ion or atom has four such numbers to exhibit the energy state
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
The word “entropy” is derived from the Greek word, which means “turning”. It was derived to provide a quantitative measure for the spontaneous changes
Colloids are mixtures of dispersed insoluble particles of one substance that are microscopic in nature, and are suspended in another substance.
The Aufbau principle highlights the way in which the electrons are filled in the atomic orbitals of an atom in its ground state
Smelting, is a process in metallurgy, where the metal obtained from its ore by heating beyond its melting point, in the presence of oxidizing agents,
Diastereomers are compounds that can be defined as having similar sequence of bonded elements and same molecular formula, they are however non superimposable and non-mirror images
