Introduction based on NCERT:

Chemistry, by its very nature, is concerned with change. Substances with well-defined properties are converted by chemical reactions into other substances with different properties. For any chemical reaction, chemists try to find out (a) the feasibility of a chemical reaction which can be predicted by thermodynamics ( as you know that a reaction with ΔG < 0, at constant temperature and pressure is feasible); (b) the extent to which a reaction will proceed can be determined from chemical equilibrium; (c) speed of a reaction i.e. time taken by a reaction to reach equilibrium. Along with feasibility and extent, it is equally important to know the rate and the factors controlling the rate of a chemical reaction for its complete understanding. For example, which parameters determine how rapidly food gets spoiled? How to design a rapidly setting material for dental filling? Or what controls the rate at which fuel burns in an auto engine? All these questions can be answered by the branch of chemistry, which deals with the study of reaction rates and their mechanisms, called chemical kinetics. The word kinetics is derived from the Greek word ‘kinesis’ meaning movement. Thermodynamics tells only about the feasibility of a reaction whereas chemical kinetics tells about the rate of a reaction. For example, thermodynamic data indicate that diamond shall convert to graphite but in reality, the conversion rate is so slow that the change is not perceptible at all. Therefore, most people think that diamond is forever. Kinetic studies not only help us to determine the speed or rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered. The factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure, and catalyst affect the rate of a reaction. At the macroscopic level, we are interested in amounts reacted or formed and the rates of their consumption or formation. At the molecular level, the reaction mechanisms involving the orientation and energy of molecules undergoing collisions, are discussed.

Periodic Table Shortcut

Periodic table shortcut Name of the page: shortcut for periodic table Done by: FIITJEE Student Applicable for all the classes What is a Periodic Table? a table of the chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number, usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure (and hence similar chemical properties) appear in vertical columns. The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of elements, is a tabular display of the chemical elements, which are arranged by atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. The structure of the table shows periodic trends. who invented the periodic table? many collections of scientists invented it. Embedded PDF:

powerpoint metals and non metals

PowerPoint presentation of metals and nonmetals name of the chapter: Metals and nonmetals Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE an intro that just known to us (recall): Metals are described as chemical elements that readily lose valence electrons to form positive ions (cations). Examples : Aluminium, copper, iron, tin, gold. Around 90 of the total 118 elements are metals. To know more about Metals, visit Physical Properties Physical Properties of Nonmetals Occur as solids, liquids, and gases at room temperature Brittle Non-malleable Non-ductile Non-sonorous Bad conductors of heat and electricity Exceptions in Physical Properties Alkali metals (Na, K, Li) can be cut using a knife. Mercury is a liquid metal. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. Mercury expands significantly for the slightest change in temperature. Gallium and cesium have a very low melting point Iodine is non-metal but it has luster. Graphite conducts electricity. Diamond conducts heat

Dark Matter And Dark Energy

Dark matter and dark energy Formation of dark energy – When the universe formed after the big bang theory. It started as a small ball of energy, began expanding, and still continues. – However, the thing that puzzles scientists are that instead of the expansion slowing down its rate is increasing, going against normal physics. Formation of dark energy – This explains the occurrence of energy causing the expansion which scientists term as dark energy. – According to scientists 68% of the universe is dark energy, 27% is dark matter and only 5% is what we currently can observe. – The theory to this was first given by Einstein’s long-forgotten gravity theory which consisted of a cosmological constant. Why is there dark energy? – Scientists have now given 3 explanations for dark energy: – The first is of course Einstein's theory of gravity. – a new theory could include some kind of fi
