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
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) estimates the amount of biodegradable organic matter that is present in polluted waters, effluents and polluted waters
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.
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
the particles that have a dimension with respect to their external, internal and surface structure and lie in the range of 1nm to 100nm are called as Nanoparticles
At equilibrium Nernst equation is given by, E0 = (2.303RT/nF) log10Keq Where, Keq = equilibrium constant and F= faradays constant, and gives a relation between standard electrode potential.
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
Amines are functional groups and compounds having a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. In other terms amines are the derivatives of ammonia(NH3)
Pyrolysis is the heating of an organic material, such as biomass, in the absence of oxygen.
Sedimentation is the simplest separation method and an essential concept.in the separation process the solids are separated from the liquids
The Molecular orbital theory was utilised initially to emphasize the bonding in molecules as the valence band theory could not explain the bonding in molecules.
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
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,
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) estimates the amount of biodegradable organic matter that is present in polluted waters, effluents and polluted waters
Hybridization is process, where the atomic orbitals having different shape and energy inter mingle together to form a set of similar orbitals
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
water that contains a required quantity of dissolved minerals (like calcium and magnesium) ,Water hardness is usually measured as calcium hardness in milligrams per litre (mg/l)
