Introduction

 Hello everyone! I hope you all will be fine. Myself Maheen. And I'm masters in CHEMISTRY. Chemistry is not only a subject for me but it's passion for me. It's really interesting for me to study this subject. Some people take it difficult but I think it's not difficult. Actually they are not made to study chemistry. If you love a field it becomes easy for you. By the way if you keep in touch with me I will tell you a lot about my subject, my experience.

Nitrogen Cycle

 Nitrogen occurs prominently in all the spheres of the environment. The atmosphere is 78% elemental nitrogen, N2, by volume and comprises an inexhaustible reservoir of this essential element. Nitrogen, although constituting much less of biomass than carbon or oxygenoxygen, is an essential constituent of proteins. The N2 molecule is very stable so that breaking it down into atoms that can be incorporated with inorganic and organic chemical forms of nitrogen is the limit- ing step in the nitrogen cycle. This does occur by highly energetic processes in lightning discharges that produce nitrogen oxides. Elemental nitrogen is also incorporated into chemically bound forms. or fixed by biochemical processes mediated by microorganisms. The biological nitrogen is mineral- ized to the inorganic form during the decay of biomass. Large quantities of nitrogen are fixed synthetically under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions according to the following over- all reaction:     ...

Cycles of Matter

 Very much connected with environmental chemistry, cycles of matter, often based on elemental cycles, are of utmost importance in the environment. Global geochemical cycles can be regarded from the viewpoint of various reservoirs, such as oceans, sediments, and the atmosphere, connected by conduits through which matter moves continuously among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geo- sphere, biosphere, and, increasingly, the anthrosphere. The movement of a specific kind of matter between two particular reservoirs may be reversible or irreversible. The fluxes of movement for particular kinds of matter vary greatly as do the contents of such matter in a specified reservoir. Most cycles of matter have a strong biotic component, especially through the biochemical processesof plants and microorganisms. The cycles in which organisms participate are called biogeochemical cycles, which describe the circulation of matter, particularly plant and animal nutrients, through ecosystems. Most biogeoche...

Structure of Atom (Part 6)

Bohr's Atomic Theory: Keeping in view the defects in Rutherford's Atomic Model, Neil Bohr presented another model of atom in 1913.The Quantum Theory of Max Planck was used as foundation for this model. According to Bohr's model, revolving electron in an atom does not absorb or emit energy continuously. The energy of a revolving electron is 'quantized' as it revolves only in orbits of fixed energy, called 'energy levels' by him.  The Bohr's atomic model was based upon the following postulates: i. The hydrogen atom consists of a tiny nucleus and electrons are revolving in one of circular orbits of radius ‘r’ around the nucleus. ii. Each orbit has a fixed energy that is quantized.  iii. As long as electron remains in a particular orbit, it does not radiate or absorb energy. The energy is emitted or absorbed only when an electron jumps from one orbit to another. iv. When an electron jumps from lower orbit to higher orbit, it absorbs energy and when it jumps ...
