Classification of Organic Compounds

Science > Chemistry > Introduction to Organic Chemistry > Classification of Organic Compounds In the last artivle we have studied what is organic chemistry? Why it is termed as chemistry of carbon compounds nowaday? In this article we shall study classification of organic compounds. Depending upon the structure organic compounds are classified into two types. […]

Pressure-Temperature Relation (Gay-Lussac’s law)

Science > Chemistry > States of Matter > Charle’s Law Mathematical relationships between volume, pressure, and temperature of a given mass of gas are referred to as Gas laws. In this article. we shall study Pressure-Temperature relation or Gay-Lussac’s law. Gay-Lussac’s Law: Statement: At constant volume the pressure of a given mass of a gas […]

Particle Model of Matter

Science > Chemistry > States of Matter > Introducion A matter is defined as anything that has mass, which occupies space and may be perceived by senses. There are three states of matter, viz. (a) solid, (b) liquid, and (c) gaseous states. Whatever may be the state of matter, it is composed of particles. In […]

Properties of Substance

Science > Chemistry > Introduction to Chemistry > Properties of Substance All matter has physical and chemical properties. Extensive properties are those properties of a substance which depend on the amount of substance. They vary with the amount of the substance. Examples: Mass, weight, and volume. Intensive properties are those properties of a substance which do not depend […]

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 […]
