Notes On Gaseous State (BSc and Integrated Standard For all Concerned Entrance Examination)

 Notes On Gaseous State      This page provides you all details about the gaseous state of BSc standard. Concerned problems will be solved at the end of each concept. Continue till the end to find the easiest explanation of every concept you need in this regard . Postulates of Kinetic Theory of Gases: 1. All gas consist of a very large number of minute particles, called molecules.  2. The gas molecules are extremely small in size and are separated by large distance. The actual volume of the gas molecules is thus negligible as compared to the total volume occupied by the gas.  3. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the bombardment of the molecules on the walls of the vessel.  4. The gas molecules collide with one another and also with the walls of the vessels. These collisions are perfectly elastic and there is no loss of energy during these collisions.  5. The distance between the gas molecules are very large. Thus, there is no effective force of attraction or r

X - Ray Diffraction, Electron Diffraction and Neutron Diffracton

 X - Ray Diffraction, Electron Diffraction and Neutron Diffraction


What is Diffraction?
    Consider two friends Ram and Shyam sitting in two different rooms separated by walls and doors. Ram can listen Shyam singing though they can't see each other.


    Ram and Shyam can listen to each other because sound waves undergo diffraction. 
    The bending (waves don't always travel in straight lines) and spreading of waves as they pass through narrow opening or pass by the edges of opaque bodies is called the diffraction.

    In the above figure water waves diffract as they pass through a narrow entrance.
    Diffraction occurs only when the wavelength is closer to the size of the opening or object. Sound waves diffract easily because their wavelengths are larger and comparable to the door opening. But the light waves having very small wavelength need very small slit to undergo diffraction.
X -Ray Crystallography (XRC) or (XRD for X-Ray Diffraction)
  This is an experimental technique for determining the structure of the crystalline substances (in which the atoms or molecules or ions are orderly arranged in a definite pattern). The beam of incident X ray is diffracted in many specific directions by the orderly arrangement of the constituent particles. The angles and intensities of the diffracted beams are measured to find the three dimensional distribution of the density of the electrons in the substance, which in turn gives the mean position of the atoms in the substance. This can also help in determining the bond length, crystallographic defect, size of atoms, ionic radii, structure of minerals, alloys, DNA, protein, drugs, vitamins etc.
    In X ray diffraction, diffraction tales place from the atomic planes of the interacting crystalline substance.

    In electron diffraction, a beam of electrons interact with the atoms and molecules and this technique is primarily and especially used the study of crystal structure.
    In neutron diffraction, the beam of neutrons interact with the nucleus of the substances and help in the determination of atomic and magnetic structure.

Ethics and Values for Semester - I, Books, Syllabus, Important Questions and Answers

 Ethics and Values for Semester - I, Books,  Syllabus, Important Questions and Answers      Recently Odisha Universities have introduced a new course named "Ethics and Values" under AECC (Ability enhancement compulsory courses) for all streams (Arts/ Science/ Commerce). Being very new to the syllabus students are confused how to cover it and how to write the answers. Thus this post is for all of them who want to score well in this subject. This post will provide you all important question and answer related to this subject. Also this will provide you the best books to study and score good. Objectives and learning goals of the course: 1. To develop good human being and responsible citizensF, 2. To develop capability to choose between right and wrong which leads to correct behaviour. 3. To create a positive attitude and to develop healthy work culture.      Before we proceed let us analyse the question pattern: Questions carrying 1 mark + 2 mark + 5 mark      Similarly

Notes on Thermodynamics (Intermediate and BSc)

 Notes on Thermodynamics      A chapter in chemistry can be ranked according to its depth and complexity. Chemical thermodynamics can be ranked to the top most position in this concern. Hence it is almost essential to have either a very good book or very best notes to be able to get the concept and solve the problems and questions answers . You can also have notes on   Periodic table ,  Gaseous state  for BSc  ,  Phase rule ,  Industrial chemicals and environment , and  Solid state , Chemical equilibrium , .     This post is dedicated to all chemistry fans who enjoy reading wonderful explanations of chemistry. Bellow you will find best notes on Thermodynamics. Follow our YouTube Channel    Soul of Chemistry , to further strengthen your concept. The First Law of Thermodynamics      Thermodynamics is concerned with the heat motion (flow). In general, it deals with the relation between heat and mechanical energy. Mechanical energy relates to either kinetic and/or potential energy.
