Matter

Hello everyone! 

How are you all? I hope you all will be fine and having fun. Previously we have discussed many fields of chemistry. Chemistry is actually a very vast branch of science. I'm trying my very best to discuss each and every concept. Today my topic is "MATTER ".


We are all familiar with matter. The definition of Matter is anything that has some mass and volume and occupies some space. It is fairly simple to demonstrate that they have mass and take up space.  


All physical objects are made of matter. Matter itself is composed of tiny building blocks known as "atoms". There are only 118 different types of atoms known to man. Frequently, atoms are bonded together to form "molecules".


Matter can be classified into different categories based on the physical properties exhibited by them and the states in which they exist; these are called states of matter.

Following are the basic three states of matter:


Solid:

In solids, particles are tightly or closely packed. The gaps between the particles are tiny and hence it is tough to compress them. Solid has a fixed shape and volume. The rate of diffusion in solids is very low. An example of solids: solid ice, sugar, rock, wood, etc.


Liquid:

In a liquid particles are less tightly packed as compared to solids. Liquids take the shape of the container in which they are kept. Liquids are difficult to compress as particles have less space between them to move. Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape. The rate of diffusion in liquids is higher than that of solids. Force of attraction between the particles is weaker than solids. Example of a liquid state of matter: water, milk, blood, coffee, etc.


Gas:

In gases, particles are far apart from each other. Force of attraction between the particles is negligible, and they can move freely. Gases have neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape. The gaseous state has the highest compressibility as compared to solids and liquids. An example of gases: air, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.


The fourth state of matter is Plasma. 

Plasma:

Plasma is a not generally seen form of matter. Plasma consists of particles with extremely high kinetic energy. Electricity is used to ionize noble gases and make glowing signs, which is essentially plasma. Superheated forms of plasma are what stars are.


I tried to tell everything about matter. I hope this will prove informative for you all. 

Thank you. Wait for next blog.

    The way you explain a complex topic in an easy-to-understand way is really impressive.

Oxygen Cycle

It involves the inter- change of oxygen between the elemental form of gaseous O2, contained in a huge reservoir in the atmosphere, and chemically bound O in CO2, H2O, minerals, and organic matter. It is strongly tied with other elemental cycles, particularly the carbon cycle. Elemental oxygen becomes chemically bound by various energy-yielding processes, particularly combustion and metabolic processes in organisms. It is released in photosynthesis. This element readily combines with and oxidizes other species such as carbon in the process of aerobic respiration, or carbon and hydrogen in the combustion of fossil fuels such as methane: CH4 +  2O2    →   CO2    +  2H2O Elemental oxygen also oxidizes inorganic substances such as iron(II) in minerals: 4FeO4   +   O2   →    2Fe3O3 A particularly important aspect of the oxygen cycle is stratospheric ozone O3. A relatively small concentration of ozone in the strato...

Branches of chemistry part 3

Hello readers!  We have already discussed main branches of chemistry. Today we will discuss further.  Agro Chemistry: It examines chemical processes important to agriculture. It includes pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and seed treatment.  Forensic Chemistry: It can be defined as practice of application of our knowledge in field of chemistry to solve crimes. Most common methods used are spectroscopy and chromatography.  Astro Chemistry: It is the study of chemical reaction in space. This discipline is an overlap of chemistry and astronomy.  Coordination Chemistry: It is the study of coordination complexes, consists of central metal atoms mostly and surrounded by ligands.  Medicinal Chemistry: It is the intersection of chemistry especially synthetic organic chemistry. Medicinal chemistry designs, synthesized and studies drugs and other therapeutic agents.  Geo Chemistry: The study of chemical composition of rocks, minerals, atmosphere of Earth and ot...

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.
