How to Determine the Melting Point of Tin Foil
The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes from a liquid to a solid. It is used to determine the purity of a substance and can be a good indicator of its chemical composition.The most common method for determining the melting point of a sample is by using capillary tubes, but there…
How Can Gold Nanoparticles Be Used to Kill Bacteria
One team discovered that bacteria can be exposed to nanoparticles of gold, which causes their cells to burst and leak material, leading to death. Each year, more than 25,000 people die from bacterial infection that cannot be treated with antibiotics. Drug resistance is increasing. Researchers are looking for other ways to combat the bacterial threat….
Beryllium and Iodine Ionic Compound
Beryllium and iodine are members of Group 17 in the periodic table. They have similar chemical properties and have the same number of electrons in the valence shell. When they combine to form an ion, one of them gains an electron to make the ion more stable.In a similar way, chlorine loses an electron to…
Application Fields of Manganese Dioxide
Chemical characteristics of manganese dioxide MnO2 Manganese oxide is the oxygen-atom at the top, and the manganese-atom in the octahedron. A single or double chain is formed when the [MnO2] Octahedron connects to the manganese. The face can either form a square-shaped dense product or a hexagonal dense one. The process of oxidizing manganese dioxide…
Magic Superconducting Material
What is Superconductivity? If your hands get cold during winter, you can rub your hands together to warm them. It is because friction heats up. Because electrical appliances heat up, the wires and current can also become hot. The reason is that the electrical appliance and wires have “friction”. This “friction”, which acts as a…
Einsteinium Properties Revealed
About the elementEinsteinium is a metallic, radioactive, and soft silver metal with an atomic number 99 and the symbol Es. It was named after Albert Einstein and it belongs to the actinide series of metallic elements found near the bottom of the periodic table.It was discovered in December 1952 by workers at Berkeley and Los…
