The energy stored in a capacitor is nothing but the electric potential energy and is related to the voltage and charge on the capacitor. If the... View Article
In a parallel plate capacitor, to find the electric field between the plates we need to combine the electric fields due to the plates of the... View Article
The equipotential lines are parallel to the electric field touching the surface of the conductor. This is the reason why equipotential lines are... View Article
The potential difference between points A and B, VB-VA, is defined as the shift in the potential energy of a charge q, divided by the charge,... View Article
A conductor is a material usable for the flow of current that has a large amount of free electrons. The electrons thus travel to the conductor's... View Article
As a potent oxidising agent, Conc nitric acid transforms the metal into ferric oxide that forms an insoluble protective layer on it. The reaction... View Article
With respect to C=O. Owing to the electronegative contrast between the oxygen atom and the carbon atom, bond polarity is very prevalent. This... View Article
Soap is a mixture of a solid base (lye) and a weak acid (fatty acids), resulting in what is known as “alkali salt”, or a salt that is important... View Article
Upon out-of-phase orbital overlap, which is disruptive interference, antibonding orbitals form. Owing to the conservation of atomic orbitals,... View Article
Potassium's first ionisation energy is 419 kJ/mol, while calcium is 376 kJ/mol. Since potassium is a smaller molecule, it has a more efficient... View Article
An endothermic mechanism is bond-breaking. When fresh bonds form, energy is released. Bond-making is a form of exothermia. The difference between... View Article
As these bonds are formed, energy is manufactured. The disparity between these two energies is the modification of enthalpy. The energy required... View Article
Oxygen has three 2p orbitals. A maximum of six electrons can be retained by the p subshell since there are three orbitals inside this sub shell.... View Article
Each atom can share one electron in the forming of a covalent bond between two atoms. For example, there are four covalent bonds and four pairs... View Article
There are three atoms in a water molecule: an oxygen atom and two atoms of hydrogen, which are bonded together like small magnets. The number of... View Article
When it comes to running electric motors, AC is also the more common current, a system that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy.... View Article
As an amorphous element, while quartz has a symmetrical molecular structure, glass has a random molecular structure. Compared to glass, quartz... View Article
The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance transforms from a liquid to a gas, while the melting point is the temperature at which... View Article
A polymer is a molecule made up of several small molecules called monomers that bind together. We can break down the term “polymer” into “poly”... View Article
Nitration is used to apply nitrogen to a ring of benzene and can be used again in replacement reactions. A ring deactivator functions as the... View Article
