Enthalpy is the measurement of energy in a thermodynamic system. The quantity of enthalpy equals the total content of heat of a system
Buffers are generally characterised by pH range by which they maintain a more or less constant pH by their buffer capacity.
According to Hund’s rule: Before the double occupation of any orbital, every orbital in the sub level is singly occupied.
Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons present in a single atom will have an identical set or will have the same quantum numbers
Enantiomers are a pair of molecules that exist in two forms that are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed one upon the other
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)
The Aufbau principle highlights the way in which the electrons are filled in the atomic orbitals of an atom in its ground state
Hybridization is process, where the atomic orbitals having different shape and energy inter mingle together to form a set of similar orbitals
It is a process that involves the protection of steel and iron from exposure to the atmosphere leading to rusting
Bakelite is a polymer made up of the monomers phenol and formaldehyde. This phenol-formaldehyde resin is a thermosetting polymer.
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
These are those polymers which decompose under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, as a result of the action of microorganism/enzymes.
Polyvinyl chloride is produced from the main component. It is white, brittle solid material available in powder form or granules.
A Calorimeter is a device that is used to measure the heat flow of a chemical reaction or physical change.
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
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
According to Hund’s rule: Before the double occupation of any orbital, every orbital in the sub level is singly occupied.
