Formation of Covalent Bonds

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > Formation of Covalent Bonds In previous articles, we have seen formation of ionic bonds. In this article, we shall study the concept of the formation of a covalent bond. Covalent Bonds or Electron Pair Bonds: A bond established between two identical or different atoms […]

Properties of Ionic Compounds

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > Properties of Ionic Compounds In this article, we shall study the properties of ionic compounds. Physical State: Due to strong electrostatic force present between the oppositely charged ions, they are held closer and fixed at specified positions in the crystal lattice. Hence ionic […]

Natural Radioactivity

Science > Physics > Nuclear Physics > Natural Radioactivity Radioactivity was discovered by French physicist Antoine Becquerel in 1896. He found that certain compounds of uranium emitted invisible radiations which affected photographic plates. It is also found that Thorium and its compounds also show these properties. Madame Curie and Piere Curie discovered two elements namely […]

Introduction to Reflection of Light

Science > Physics > Optics > Reflection of Light > Introduction to Reflection of Light When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The surface which reflects the light is called a reflecting surface. The ray of light approaching the […]

Octet Theory

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > Octet Theory The force of attraction which keeps atoms or ions together in a molecule is called a Chemical bond. The main cause of chemical combination is the tendency to acquire stability i.e. a state with minimum energy and a tendency to acquire […]
