What is a Spontaneous Reaction?
The spontaneous reaction is an irreversible process in which the total Gibbs energy is less than zero while the total entropy tends to increase. Spontaneous [...]
Thermodynamic Scales
The study of the relationship between heat, temperature, work, and energy is known as thermodynamics. The scales that are used to measure these thermodynamics [...]
Lennard Jones Potential
Intermolecular Forces When two molecules come close to one another, different types of interactions develop between these molecules. These intermolecular forces are between electrons [...]
Continuous Spectrum vs. Line Spectrum: The Main Differences
A spectrum is a band of different colors produced by radiation or of light (energy). It is either a continuous or a separated sequence of [...]
Radioactive decay | Types and Examples
Elements with unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay in different types or modes. The type of radioactive decay depends upon the particular nuclide involved. Radioactive decay [...]
Cahn Ingold Prelog Priority Rules (with Examples)
Robert Sidney Cahn, Christopher Kelk Ingold, and Vladimir Prelog came up with a system of nomenclature in 1965, that assigned the names to R-S, cis-trans, [...]
Solution vs. Suspension: Differences and Examples
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures through which light can pass, whereas suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures that cannot allow the light to pass through. The main difference [...]
Coordinate (dative) Covalent Bond with Examples
The coordinate covalent bond, also known as the dative bond, is a type of covalent bond where both electrons are from the same atom. Usually, [...]
What Does Principal Quantum Number Determine?
The principal quantum number is related to the energy and size of the atomic orbits. It is denoted by ‘n’ and has integral values. As [...]
Cation vs. Anion: Differences and Examples
A cation is a positively charged species formed by the removal of one or more electrons from its valence shell while an anion is a [...]
