Atomic radius & Periodic trends

The average distance between the center of the nucleus and the electron cloud of outermost orbit is called atomic radius. The exact position of an electron is uncertain and cannot be determined accurately. Hence we take the atomic radius as the average distance. 


Elements & Compounds

What is an element?

According to modern view, in simpler terms, an element can be defined as a substance made up of atoms of same atomic number.

For example, hydrogen gas, H2 is an element since the atoms in it have the same atomic number i.e. 1.

Electrolysis involves dissociation (lysis) of an electrolyte by using a direct electric current.  In this process, electrical energy is used to carryout a non-spontaneous redox chemical reaction. 

The setup used to serve this purpose is known as electrolytic cell.

Fajan's rules: 

Fajan's rules were developed based on the concept: "greater the polarization, greater is the covalent nature"

1) Smaller the cation, greater is the covalent nature. i.e., Larger the cation greater is the ionic nature.

2) Larger the anion, greater is the covalent nature. i.e., Smaller the anion greater is the ionic nature.

Quantum numbers:

Quantum numbers are  used to describe the position and energy of an electron in an atom. There are four types of quantum numbers.

Love at first sight - A fancy laboratory

Every time we attempt to envision a science laboratory, the scenery that strikes our mind is full of glazy glass equipment with vividly colored liquids and the people wearing white aprons and doing some sort of mixing and shaking to be fascinated at changes that most of the times accompanying the liberation of fancy gases. 


Wait! .......Something.................. is wrong?

However, when it comes to the actual learning process, especially at high school level, the chemical equations written in the text books seem to be sacred mantras and vigorously agitate the tender brains of pupil. 

Now they start asking what is this mystery? 

It is observed that most of the students develop a taste of disliking towards this extremely important field of science and try to avoid it as much as possible due to unhappy experiences and failures they face while learning this subject.

Hmm! I want to know. What is chemistry?   





So what? I want to know how to learn this subject?

Learning process, just like any other subject, involves a very simple approach. Start with the basics. Read and try to grasp as much as possible. Note down the important points. Ask your self lots of questions. Discuss with others. That is all.

Branches of Chemistry

Chemical sciences is broadly divided into following branches.

General Chemistry

This branch deals with general aspects of understanding chemical sciences and includes topics like Atomic Structure, Periodic Table, Chemical bonding etc. Mastering this part is necessary before venturing into the ocean of alchemy. One can learn the inner structure of atoms, electronic configuration; about elements and their classification; interaction of atoms with each other to form chemical attractions; intermolecular forces; writing chemical equations etc.

Physical Chemistry

An unavoidable branch that addresses the basic principles of physical science involved in chemical systems. Questions like why a chemical reaction occurs and how fast it occurs are explained here. 

Inorganic Chemistry

It deals with the chemistry of all the elements, in the periodic table, and their compounds, except that of carbon. It is a broad and complex field which overlaps with other branches of science and is growing at a rapid pace. It includes topics like main group elements, transition and inner transition elements, coordination chemistry, organometallics etc.

Organic Chemistry

 A very important area of chemical sciences that deals with the study of structure, properties: both chemical and physical, synthesis and applications of organic compounds, which always contain carbon as one of the element. This field is closely related to biological sciences and is a necessary part in their studies.

Analytical Chemistry

Another important interdisciplinary branch that deals mostly with the chemical analysis and separation techniques using electroanalytical, spectrochemical and kinetic methods. Very hot topics like chromatography come under this branch.
