Doctrine of Repugnancy

The doctrine of Repugnancy essentially deals with the conflict between the laws of Centre and State. India adopts a federal structure of governance, therefore the extent of legislative powers is distributed between the Centre and the States. As per Article 245, Parliament may make laws for whole or any part of India and the legislature […]

Silicon

The group IV-A (14) in the periodic table is known as ‘Carbon family’ consist of five elements, namely, Carbon (C), Silicon(Si) Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn) and Lead (Pb). Carbon is the essential constituent of all organic matter, while silicon is an important constituent of inorganic matter. Electronic Configuration of Group IV(14)  Elements: Sr.No. Elements Atomic […]

Atomic Radius

In this article, we shall discuss a very important periodic property called the atomic radius. Atomic Radius: The size of an atom is very small (120 pm). Secondly, since the electron cloud surrounding the atom does not have a sharp boundary, the determination of the atomic size cannot be precise.   One practical approach of finding the size of an atom of […]
