Science > Chemistry > Biomolecules > Disaccharides and Polysaccharides In the last article, we have studied monosaccharides. In this article, we shall study disaccharides and polysaccharides. Disaccharides: Di-saccharides on hydrolysis give two molecules of monosaccharide. They on hydrolysis with dilute acids or enzymes yield two molecules of either the same or different monosaccharides. e.g. Cane sugar (Sucrose) […]

Glucose and Fructose

Science > Chemistry > Biomolecules > Glucose and Fructose In the last article, we have seen what are carbohydrates and how are they classified. Based on hydrolysis behaviour the carbohydrates are classified into three types. a) Mono-Saccharides b) Oligo-Saccharides and c) Poly-Saccharides. In this article, we shall study monosaccharides in detail particularly glucose and fructose. […]

Carbohydrates

Science > Chemistry > Biomolecules > Introduction to Carbohydrates All those simple or complex organic and inorganic substances found in different living forms are collectively called as biomolecules. Biomolecules can be grouped into two types micro and macromolecules. The micro molecules have moderate to low molecular mass. e.g. sugars, amino acids, and their derivatives, vitamins, […]

No Comments on Dual Nature of Radiations

Science > Chemistry > Atomic Structure > Dual Nature of Radiations Light and other electromagnetic radiations have dual nature viz: the particle nature and the wave nature. Wave Nature of Radiations: Radiation is the form of energy, which can be transferred from one point to another point in space. Radiations are considered to be transmitted by wave […]

No Comments on Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

Science > Chemistry > Atomic Structure > Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle In this article, we shall study Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, the concept of quantum numbers, and the model of an atom based on the quantum numbers. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle: Werner Heisenberg a German physicist in 1927, stated the uncertainty principle which is the consequence of dual behaviour of […]

Electronic Configuration

Science > Chemistry > Atomic Structure > Electronic Configuration The distribution of electrons in various shells and orbitals of an atom is known as electronic configuration. Generally electronic configuration is given by nlx. Where n is shell number, l is subshell and x are the number of electrons. Aufbau Principle: The arrangement of the electrons […]
