Bragg’s Law [nλ = 2d sinθ]: A Relationship Between (d & λ)
Bragg’s law was first proposed by Sir William Bragg and his son Sir Lawrence Bragg. They studied the diffraction of X-rays on various surfaces and [...]
Crystal Structures | Types with Explanation
A crystal structure refers to the repeating arrangement of particles in a solid. It displays the arrangement of atoms in a three-dimensional structure. There are [...]
Properties of Solid, Liquid, Gases: A Comparison
Everything that occupies space and has some weight is called matter. There are four states of matter that are; solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. However, [...]
Amorphous vs. Crystalline Solids: Which One’s True Solid?
There are two types of solids i.e. amorphous and crystalline. These solids have structural differences in the arrangement of their atoms. Amorphous solids are pseudo [...]
Salts in Chemistry: Preparation, Types, Properties, and Uses
Salts are chemical compounds made by the reaction between acids and bases. When an acid reacts with a base, a salt is formed. Salts have [...]
Types of Crystalline Solids: The Seven Crystal System
Crystalline solids are composed of small crystals having a specific geometrical shape. They have a regular arrangement of atoms, ions, and molecules in a three-dimensional [...]
Factors Affecting Solubility
Solubility is the physical property of a substance. It is defined as the grams of solute dissolved per 100 ml of solvent. The solubility of [...]
Graphene vs. Graphite: Which one’s more Useful?
Graphene is a single isolated layer of graphite. It has a 2D arrangement and the carbon atoms are bonded in a hexagonal (honeycomb) structure in [...]
Paramagnetic vs. Diamagnetic Substances
Atoms that have unpaired electrons in their orbitals are said to be paramagnetic. Such substances show weak attraction towards the external magnetic field by a [...]
Recrystallization: Types, Procedure, Applications
Recrystallization is a separation technique used to separate compounds based on their different solubilities at different temperatures. Usually, recrystallization is used to separate compounds with [...]
