Asexual Reproduction in Plants

Science > Biology > Botany > Reproduction in Plants > Asexual Reproduction in Plants In this article, we shall study asexual reproduction in plants. Reproduction: Reproduction is defined as a biological process in which an organism gives rise to young ones (offspring) similar to itself. The offspring grow, mature and in turn produce new offspring. […]

Transport in Plants

Science > Biology > Botoany > Physiology > Transport in Plants Transportation is a process in which a substance either synthesized or absorbed in one part of the body reaches another. In living things, many substances such as food, gases, minerals salts, hormones, and waste products have to be transported from one part of the […]

The Naming of Chemical Compounds

Science > Chemistry > Introduction to Chemistry > Naming of Chemical Compounds In this article, we shall study the method of naming of chemical compounds In a chemical reaction, the molecular composition changes and it is represented by a chemical equation. In a chemical equation, the various substances involved as reactants or products are written […]

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 […]

Associated Colloids (Micelles)

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 […]

Types of Colloidal Solutions

Science > Chemistry > Colloids >Types of Colloidal Solutions In this article, we shall study types of colloidal solutions (systems) on the basis of states of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium, the interaction between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium, and on the number of atoms and molecules in a colloidal particle. Types of […]
