A very important branch of both physics and chemistry is thermodynamics. The study of energy, the transfer of energy between different types, and... View Article
The distance between wave fronts depends on whether the source and observer are getting closer together or further apart as the source and... View Article
Sodium chloride (NaCl), the result of the reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric acid, is an example of a salt (HCl). A redox... View Article
If the spring is extended, the force exerted is proportional to the increase in length from the length of the equilibrium, as per the Hooke Law.... View Article
The constant of the spring, k, is symbolic of how rigid the spring is. There are greater spring constants in stiffer, more difficult to stretch... View Article
The ether is indistinguishable from ordinary matter in its roles. It takes part in the motion of matter within matter, and it has a velocity... View Article
In ether, the C - O bonds are polar and hence ethers have a net moment of dipole. As compared to isomeric alcohols, ethers have much lower... View Article
As if the alkyl chain from the alcohol is a replacement, esters are called. No number is assigned to this chain of alkyls. This is accompanied by... View Article
Biphenyl is a yellow to colourless solid with a good odour. Alcohol, ether, benzene, methanol, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, and other... View Article
Amplitude is the magnitude of change within an oscillating device in the oscillating variable for each oscillation. Sound waves in the air, for... View Article
Oscillation is defined as the method of repeating variations in time of any sum or measure of its equilibrium value. It is also possible to... View Article
Baking soda is a foundation, also referred to as sodium bicarbonate. This implies that it forms an alkaline solution as people dissolve baking... View Article
Elasticity, a deformed material body's capacity to revert to its original shape and size by removing the forces causing the deformation. It is... View Article
Elastic demand means that when another economic factor changes typically the price of the good or service, there is a significant shift in the... View Article
At a given predetermined velocity, the force that the muscles can generate decreases as that velocity increases. The F-V relationship implies... View Article
The magnetic field is greatly diminished during an excursion or a reversal which allows even more cosmic rays to penetrate the planet's surface.... View Article
An instrument that can detect and measure small amounts of current in an electrical circuit is a galvanometer. Just months after Hans Christian... View Article
Entropy, the per unit temperature estimate of the thermal energy of a device that is unavailable for useful work. The amount of entropy is also a... View Article
NaOH, sodium hydroxide, is a solid base. There are no surplus hydrogen ions remaining in the solution when a heavy acid is neutralised by a... View Article
Alpha particles have a very small capacity to penetrate other materials in general. In other words, a sheet of paper, clothing, or even a few... View Article
