Resolution of Vectors, Definition and Application

By dividing a single vector into two or more parts, a technique known as resolution of vectors makes vector analysis easier. When examining motion or forces in two-dimensional spaces, this is especially useful. This idea is essential to grasp since it provides the foundation for resolving issues in mechanics and other physics-related fields. What is … Read more

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory  that helps to predict the shape of molecules based on the arrangement of electron pairs around a central atom. Developed by Ronald Gillespie and Ronald Nyholm in 1957, it is widely used to explain molecular geometry and bonding in both simple and complex molecules. Valence Electron What is … Read more

Addition and Subtraction of Vectors

General rule for addition and subtraction:- It states that the vectors to be added are arranged in such a way so that the head of first vector coincides with the tail of second vector, whose head coincides with the tail of the third vector and so on, then the single vector drawn from the tail … Read more

Bond parameters

Bond parameters are the measurable characteristics of chemical bonds that describe their strength, stability, and geometry. It helps in predicting the properties and reactivity of molecules. These parameters are essential for building a initial knowledge of chemical bonding. 1.Bond Length Definition: Bond length is the average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms. Bond … Read more

Multiplication of Vectors by Real Numbers

A basic operation in vector mathematics that allows us to scale a vector’s magnitude while maintaining its direction is to multiply it by a real number, or scalar. This idea is vital to understanding the use of vectors in physics, engineering, and computer graphics, particularly when they are used to represent quantities like force, velocity, … Read more

Ionic or Electrovalent Bond

When two atoms exchange electrons, oppositely charged ions donates or attracted to one another. This process is called an ionic or electrovalent bond. Low ionisation element loses electrons easily (usually metal) and, the other element (usually the nonmetal) has a high electron attraction and rapidly gets electrons. electrons Formation of Ionic Bonds Electrons are transferred … Read more

Scalars and Vectors

Introduction Scalars and vectors are two basic types of quantities. These ideas are essential and especially for in mechanics, where problem-solving and understanding of physical processes depend on the ability to discriminate between scalar and vector values. Scalars :- Scalars are those quantities which have magnitudes only. It is specified completely by a single number, … Read more

Kossel-Lewis Approach to Chemical Bonding

Introduction :- A chemical bond is the attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in different chemical species. Two factors due to which atoms interact with each other are Decrease in energy due to net attractive forces which are greater than repulsive forces. The tendency to achieve noble gas configurations.           Kossel-Lewis Approach … Read more

Relative Velocity

Introduction Relative velocity means its describes an object’s velocity as seen from a specific frame of reference. Analysing the movement of objects in various frames requires an understanding of relative velocity, particularly when two or more objects are moving in relation to one another. This idea is frequently applied in a variety of contexts, including … Read more

Electronic Configuration of Elements and the Periodic Table

The electronic configuration of elements is a introductory concept in chemistry that explains how electrons are arranged around the nucleus of an atom. This arrangement plays a vital role in determining an element’s chemical properties, reactivity, and place in the periodic table. Periodic Table 1.Atomic Structure and Electron Arrangement Atoms are composed of a central … Read more
