Sodium is a very reactive element, so it reduces oxygen and water by being an effective reduction agent. There is also a reduction of compounds... View Article
Alkali metals are treated as an effective reducing agent. They will potentially lose an electron because of their low ionisation potential and... View Article

Petroleum, coal, natural gas and orimulsion are the four fossil fuel types. They have a variety of physical, chemical and other essential... View Article
Two types of mixtures exist: heterogeneous and homogeneous. Two or more ingredients (or phases, regions with uniform structure and properties)... View Article
We know in physics that work on an object is finished when you pass energy to that object. If one object moves (gives) energy to another object,... View Article
Catalysts make it more effective for such a split and restoration to happen. By lowering the activation energy for the chemical reaction, they do... View Article
Standard electrode potential (E°) is described in electrochemistry as calculating the individual reversible electrode potential at the standard... View Article
Polar molecules emerge because there is a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms. When electrons are exchanged evenly between... View Article
An oxidising agent (oxidant, oxidizer) or oxidising agent (oxidizer) is a material in chemistry that is capable of oxidising other compounds, in... View Article
The pressure of a gas is the stress on the walls of its container that the gas exerts. The envelope opens as you blast air into a balloon, so the... View Article
Motion, in mechanics, changes the location or direction of a body over time. Translation is considered displacement around a line or a curve. All... View Article
To make compounds or molecules, chemical bonds are forces that tie atoms together. Covalent, polar covalent, and ionic bonds contain chemical... View Article
Colloids are mixtures in which one or more compounds are distributed in a solid, liquid, or gaseous medium as relatively big solid particles or... View Article
Polymers are the raw materials that we now use every day for items, including: synthetic clothing, fibreglass, plastic bags, nylon bearings,... View Article
