A zero vector, also known as a null vector, is a vector that has an arbitrary direction and has no magnitude. When a vector is added to a zero... View Article
The elements that belong to group 18 of the modern periodic table can be considered as some of the best electric insulators since they all... View Article
No, diamonds do not conduct electricity. Due to the tetrahedral arrangement of covalently bonded carbon atoms in diamonds, there are no free... View Article
The energy needed to detach an electron from an atom in its gas phase is determined by ionisation energy. The energy for ionisation reduces as we... View Article
A shorter bond length implies a stronger bond in general. Atoms that are closer together are more closely bound to each other and there is a weak... View Article
