The 15 elements with atomic numbers ranging from 89 to 103 are Actinides. They are named after actinium, the first element in the series.... View Article
The main distinction between the alkyl and acyl groups is that the acyl group has an oxygen atom attached to the carbon atom with a double bond,... View Article
Inside an atomic nucleus (and in everything, really), the binding energy comes from the mass of the objects being bound. A bound state of one... View Article
Uniform mixtures of components that have physical properties related to their pure components are perfect solutions. Raoult's law supports these... View Article
The kinetic theory of matter helps us understand why matter occurs in various stages (i.e. solid, liquid and gas) and how matter can change from... View Article
