Physics: Analogy of Light and Sound Light and sound share many common aspects. Today, we will study some of notable similarities and differences between the two. We can perceive both light and sound. We see through eyes and hear through ears. Both light and sound are waves. Light is an electromagnetic wave whereas sound is a mechanical wave. Light is created by interaction of electric and magnetic field. It does not require any medium for propagation, so it can propagate in free space. On the…
31. cis/trans isomers Isomers are compounds with a similar substance recipe however extraordinary structures. The structures of these isomers vary in the introduction of the two chloride particles around the Co3+ particle. In the trans isomer, the chlorides involve positions opposite each other in the octahedron. In the cis isomer, they possess contiguous positions. The distinction amongst cis and trans isomers can be recollected by taking note of that the prefix trans is utilized to portray…
One of my favorite philosophers in Sophie's World was Democritus. Democritus discovered atoms, tiny invisible blocks he thought that everything was made of; eternal and immutable. Democritus was also a materialist, someone who believes that nothing exists but physical matter. The philosopher, Alberto Knox, has asked Sophie “Why is Lego the most ingenious toy in the world?” The next day, he sends her a green packet talking about Democritus. Lego blocks are a great deal like atoms. Democritus…

Circular Dichroism (CD) fundamentals. CD is defined as the difference between absorptions of left (Al) and right (Ar) circularly polarized light beams, CD=Al-Ar For each absorption band, the CD of two enantiomers are always exactly opposite. Theory. For each electronic transition one can define an electric (µij≠0) and a magnetic (mij≠0) transition dipole. Both can lead to absorption of radiation, the intensity of which is directly related to the oscillator strength f, fij≈| µij |2+ | mij |2 In…
Lewis chose a three-dimensional structure that contained eight vexes as representations for valence electrons. Consequently, he chose the cube because it contains eight vexes. Its orderly shape appealed to the common scientific notion that the universe contains patterns and organization. A conceivable structure like the cube allowed for easy application…
ISOTOPE EXPERIMENT- BEANIUM Introduction This beanium experiment was performed to display a greater understanding of isotopes of an element. Atoms that belong to the same element with the same number of protons but differ in numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Since the atomic mass of a element includes the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the element, It can be said that isotopes would have a different mass. Heavier isotopes tend to react more slowly than…
benzylic position can be effectively dispersed throughout the benzene ring via resonance. In general, charge dispersal is more effective through the resonance effect than the inductive effect. Resonance usually beats induction. The benzene ring is represented by the Kekulé structure to demonstrate the resonance effect. The resonance effect operates through bonds and adjacent p-orbitals, and the strength of the resonance does not diminish with distance. This is unlike the inductive effect…
semiconductor material. This P-N junction is a connection of a p-doped (electron-hole-doped) semiconductor material and n-doped (electron-doped) semiconductor material. When electric current through this junction is present, the electrons participating in the electric current are of an elevated energy state and propagate in the conduction energy band. The conduction energy band exists at a higher energy than the valence band, which is where electrons occupy the valence states of an atom. In an…
1.3. AMORPHOUS STATE The amorphous state of solids is composed of molecules that have a disordered arrangement, which do not constitute to the characteristic of the crystal grid and, therefore, have zero crystallinity. The distribution of molecules in the solid amorphous form is not entirely random as it is specific to a gaseous state because it has a certain degree of order between neighboring molecules. Due to the lack of regulation and the absence of a crystal grid, compared to the crystal…
