There is great debate in the scientific community over what constitutes a “chemical reaction” and how that leads to the formation of solid materials. The debate centers on the reaction that takes place between two gases, namely, neutrons and neutrally-charged electrons. The neutrally charged electrons in the atmosphere collide with those in the plasma, while …
A periodic table is one in which the properties of the elements are arranged in a particular order, thereby identifying the atomic or ionic structure. A periodic table is used for identifying all the chemical properties of the various elements, including their atomic or ionic structures. It is used extensively in the physical as well …
The nomenclature of elements is not the same as that of compounds. It has to do with the conventions followed in the study of atomic numbers. Basically, it is the study of atomic structures using symbols to represent the atomic number of each element or molecule. The study and nomenclature of elements are extremely important …

Composition and molecular structure of elements are at the heart of organic chemistry, one of the most well-known sciences in the world today. Organic chemistry is the study of chemical relationships and the resulting compounds. It is also a fundamental science in the development of all life on earth. As such, it is a vital …
Photosynthesis refers to the process whereby light is transformed into food for the plant. In plants photosynthesis occurs in the form of photosystems, in which different processes take place. One such system is aerobic respiration. This involves the conversion of light energy to a chemical energy, which is the fuel for the aerobic metabolism. The …
The Valence Bond Theory is one of the most popular concepts used in modern advertising. Basically, this concept refers to the limitations that are put on certain elements of a design in order for it to be completed properly. It’s important to understand these limitations, because understanding them can help you make sure that you’re …
A state of matter can be described as the unique behavior of individual atoms and molecules at a particular temperature. There are three basic states of matter: Solid, Liquid and Hetero dynamic. Solid states of matter exhibit little variation because the atomic weight is too low. Gases and liquids on the other hand exhibit much …
What is equilibrium? Let’s say there are two volumes of water. We will use the English system of measurements, the unit of measure is pounds per gallon. If you weigh both of these water masses and then add the weights of both ends of a long wire, you find the density of the water relative …
In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium often occurs when the rate of dissipation of a compound’s components is equal to the rate of absorption of a molecule. In a non-catalytic manner, chemical equilibrium usually occurs at an equilibrium which describes the overall behavior of the system. Chemical kinetics has been used to study the effects …
An Introduction to the Concept of Chemical Balancing Read More »
Classical chemical reactions have the classical idea that there is a way to prevent the reaction from having too much heat or by allowing some of the reactants to escape, i.e. to reduce their effective area, thus making the equilibrium more balanced. Classical chemical reactions involving electron sharing or electron mobility are also called as …
