Role of CHEMISTRY

 Hello Viewers!

Previously we have discussed about meaning of chemistry.Today we will discuss some roles of chemistry in daily life.

The knowledge that provides understanding of this world and how it works, is science.

Development of science and technology has provided us a lot of facilities in daily life. Have you ever wondered about the importance of chemistry in daily life? You might ask this question if you are student of chemistry. Finding it's answer is one of interesting homework. Here's a look why chemistry is important. 

Imagine the role and important of important petrochemical products,  medicines and drugs,  soap,  detergents,  paper,  plastics, paints and  pigments,  insecticides,  pesticides which all are fruit of the efforts of chemists. The development of chemical industry has also generated toxic wastes, contaminated water and polluted air around us. On the other hand chemistry also provides knowledge and techniques to improve our health and environment and to explore and to conserve the natural resources.

Now take general examples:

Everything is made of chemical. You are made of chemical. Your pet, your chair, your desk, everything is made of chemical. So, our Sun is chemical. Medicines/drugs are chemicals. Similarly food is also made from chemicals. 

Many of the changes observed in the world  are caused by chemical reactions. Examples include leaves changing colors, cooking food and getting yourself clean.

Chemistry is fun! It can be used to make colors change, alter recipes, color flames, make things glow in the dark, or even make stuff explode. Many people study chemistry not because it's a requirement for a class but because they are interested in using it to explore the world and to try science projects. As hobbies go, chemistry is inexpensive because home chemicals can be used to perform many interesting experiments.


I hope my this information will be useful as well as helpful for you all. If you think it interesting you can learn it easily.

Relative Atomic Mass

 Hello readers! Hope you will be fine. Our today's topic is relative atomic mass. let's start! It is the average mass of the atoms of that element as compared to1/12th the mass of an atom of carbon-12 isotope. Based on carbon-12 as a standard, the mass of an atom of carbon is 12 units and 1/12th of it comes to be 1 unit. When we compare atomic masses of other elements with atomic masses of carbon-12 atom, they are expressed as relative atomic masses of those elements. The unit of relative atomic mass unit is amu (Atomic mass unit). One atomic mass unit is 1/12th the mass of one atom of carbon-12.  This was the short intro of Relative atomic mass.  See you next with another topic. Thank you!

Structure of Atom(Part 5)

 Rutherford's Atomic Model: Rutherford performed 'Gold Foil' experiment to understand how negative and positive charges could coexist in an atom. He bombarded alpha particles on a 0.00004  cm thick gold foil. Alpha particles are emitted by radioactive elements like radium and polonium. These are actually helium nuclei (He2+). They can penetrate through matter to some extent. He observed the effects of α-particles on a photographic plate or a screen coated with zinc sulphide. He proved that the 'plum-pudding' model of the atom was not correct.  Observations made by Rutherford were as follows: i.Almost all the particles passed through the foil un-deflected. ii.Out of 20000 particles, only a few were deflected at fairly large angles and very few bounced back on hitting the gold foil. Results of the experiment: Keeping in view the experiment, Rutherford proposed planetary model for an atom and concluded following results: i.Since most of the particles passed through th

Carbon Cycle

CARBON CYCLE: Carbon circulates through the carbon cycle. It shows that carbon may be pres- ent as gaseous atmospheric CO2 constituting a relatively small but highly significant portion of global carbon. Some of the carbon is dissolved in surface water and groundwater as HCO-3 or molecular CO2 (aq). A very large amount of carbon is present in minerals, particularly magnesium and calcium carbonates such as CaCO3. Photosynthesis fixes inorganic C as biological carbon. represented as (CH2O), which is a constituent of all life molecules. Another fraction of carbon is fixed as petroleum and natural gas, with a much larger amount as hydrocarbonaceous kerogen (the organic matter in oil shale), coal, and lignite. Manufacturing processes are used to convert hydro- carbons to xenobiotic compounds with functional groups containing halogens, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur. Although a very small amount of total environmental carbon, these com- pounds are particularly significant because of
