Rolling Motion

When an object, like a wheel or a ball, moves in such a way that every point on its surface rotates on an axis  simultaneously undergoing translational movement, this is known as rolling motion, which combines translational and rotational motion. Rolling motion is combination of rotation and translation. If the velocity of point of contact … Read more

Tetravalence of Carbon: Shape of Organic Compounds

At the core of organic chemistry we know it, carbon is an interesting element. Tetravalence, or the fact that carbon has four valence electrons available for bonding, is one of its most outstanding characteristics. Because of this property, carbon can create four covalent connections with other atoms, resulting in an incredible array of molecules and … Read more

Dynamics Of Rotational Motion About A Fixed Axis

The mechanics of astronomical objects to practical applications like wheels and turbines, rotational motion is a fundamental component. we will examine the dynamics of rotational motion about a fixed axis in this note. Astronomical objects Rotational Motion A rigid body that rotates around a fixed axis is said to be in rotational motion. Around this … Read more

Redox reactions and electrode processes

Redox reactions and electrode processes are both related to the transfer of electrons between elements and the conversion of chemical energy into electrical power. chemical energy Redox Reactions: The Basics Redox reactions, short for reduction-oxidation reactions, are the transfer of electrons between chemical species. These reactions are characterised by two simultaneous processes: Oxidation: The loss of … Read more

Oxidation Numbers

Oxidation number is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. Each atom that participates in an oxidation-reduction reaction is assigned an oxidation number that reflects its ability to acquire, donate, or share electrons. Oxidation numbers help us understand how electrons are … Read more

Equilibrium of a Rigid Body

A situation in which a body stays at rest or moves with uniform velocity is called equilibrium. In equilibrium we study about the rigid bodies, when the torques and forces operating on the body are equal. This assurance that there is no rotational or linear acceleration of the body. Types of Equilibrium Equilibrium can be … Read more

Solubility Equilibria of Sparingly Soluble Salts

Solubility equilibria are compounds interact and dissolve in water. The idea of solubility equilibrium is especially critical when we discuss about salts that are sparingly soluble. These salts do not dissolve entirely in water, and their restricted solubility gives rise to a dynamic equilibrium between the undissolved solid and the ions present in the solution. … Read more

Angular Velocity and Its Relation with Linear Velocity

When we study about motion, then in rotational dynamics, two important concepts come into mind: angular velocity and linear velocity. These terms and their relationship can be analyse the motion of objects in circular or rotational paths. Rotational path What is Angular Velocity? Angular velocity (ω) describes the rate at which an object rotates about … Read more

Buffer Solutions

The solutions which resist change in pH on dilution or with the addition of small amount of acid or alkali are called buffer solutions. It is a unique kind of solution that doesn’t react considerably to minor additions of basic or acid in terms of pH. Because of this characteristic, buffer solutions are vital for … Read more
