7 Comments on Shielding or Screening Effect

There are many observable patterns in the physical and chemical properties of elements as we descend in a group or move across a period in the Periodic Table. The term periodicity is used to indicate that some characteristic properties occur in the periodic table after definite intervals, with a varying (gradual increase or decrease) magnitude. The periodic recurrence of elements having similar […]

Halogens

The five elements; Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine(Br), Iodine (I) and Astatine (At) belonging to VII A Group of the modern periodic table are collectively referred as halogens. The last element Astatine is radioactive and is very short lived hence generally excluded from the study. The word halogen is derived from the Greek words Halos […]

Simple Machines: Levers

Science > Physics > Simple Machines > Levers A simple machine is a mechanical device that makes our life easier. If a force is applied at one point, the simple machine transmits it to another point with a convenient change of magnitude and direction. In this article we shall study the terminology associated with the […]

Refraction Through Prism

Science > Physics > Refraction of Light > Refraction Through Prism In this article, we shall study refraction through prism. Prism: A prism is a portion of a transparent medium which is bounded by non-parallel plane surfaces. The two plane surfaces ABCD and AEFD intersecting each other in line AD are called the refracting faces […]

Preparation of Colloids

Science > Chemistry > Colloids > Preparation of Colloids In this article, we shall study different methods of preparation of colloids. Preparation of Lyophilic Sols: For preparing lyophilic sol, the dispersed phase is directly added to dispersion medium in cold or by warming. Colloidal solutions of starch, glue, gelatin, etc. in water can be prepared […]

Science > Chemistry > Colloids > Associated Colloids (Micelles) In thisarticle, we shall study bout associated colloids :micelles). Multimolecular Colloids: Multimolecular colloids are those systems in which the dispersed phase particles are aggregates of many atoms or molecules. The particles in this colloidal solutions are held together by van der Wall’s forces. e.g. gold sol particles […]

Introduction to Colloids

Science > Chemistry > Colloids > Colloidal Solutions Depending upon the size of particles in solution, solutions are classified as true solutions, colloidal solutions, and suspensions. In this article, we shall study colloids i.e. colloidal solutions. Historical Background: The foundation of colloidal chemistry was laid by English chemist Thomas Graham in 1861. Other prominent chemists […]

No Comments on Applications of Adsorption

Science > Chemistry > Surface Chemistry > Applications of Adsorption In this article, we shall study some applications of adsorption. Adsorption Indicators: The phenomenon of adsorption is used to detect the endpoints of precipitation titrations. In such titrations, dyestuffs like eosin, fluorescein, alizarin red etc, are used as adsorption indicators. At the endpoint of the […]
