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
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
Polyvinyl chloride is produced from the main component. It is white, brittle solid material available in powder form or granules.
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

Electron affinity is the amount of energy required to detach one electron from a negatively charged ion of an atom or molecule
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
It is a process that involves the protection of steel and iron from exposure to the atmosphere leading to rusting
Fluorescence spectrometry is a fast, simple and inexpensive method to determine the concentration of an analyte in solution based on its fluorescent properties.
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
